It’s a curse to love so much.

Ofelia Nessuno

October 3, 2023

We drift apart like continents
Rifts between us so large, they could fit the earth

We weren’t always two nations at a cold war
Over differences

Your back buckled bearing my weight
Because my existence reminds you
Of all you gave up
For the idea of who I might be.

It’s a curse to love so much,
When you start living for someone else
You start killing yourself.
