the girl they conquered, but didn't know

Love kept finding herself confusing me tripping me up and down the stairs she trained me on
She sung me to sleep with the strings of her guitar and tied those strings around me
I’ve been trying to untangle them for a while now
but they never make sense to me
and while little miss love troubled everyone else she came to me easily
She crept in and stayed on my nightstand like the book we bought together and had no intention of ever reading
But i dont know maybe thats where she left me confused and others troubled
They wanted to conquer her
I wanted to listen
When I mistake her for someone else,something else
I tripped and went tumbling down that is why it couldn’t make sense of her
They were scared of me because one day that chain on my ankle would break loose and i would no longer be the little girl that they loved, but the person who taught them how to love
love strangled me and i forgot myself
I lost myself in her because i was her
They asked me about love and she was like the friend who had meant so much, held so much that to lose her would mean that i lost everything and nothing at all
They asked about love and I told them I couldn’t give them any answer that would justify the wonders that love had done when we done her right
So I kept writing and writing
erasing what they whispered in my ear about her
and I inhaled the wonderful possibilities of everything she could be and all of what he had known.
