faint of heart
the kind of passion that tests your limits a love that asks for blood what you feel in your skin and toes and lungs and bones the kind of love that asks for courage I’m that kind of a love the kind you prove with your entire existence you tremble as you create Art I’m worth all the work I’m not for the weak, for the faint of heart I’m not for those who hold convenience close to their chest I can’t stand conditional care or masks that feign romance while eyes behind them rest I’m all for the devotion that dares for the ones that will make a fool of themselves in the name of intimacy I’m not for the calculative ones I run from the oversmart I’m not for faint of heart -maithili
