Love Like a Sloth
I loved like a sloth.
I clinged to him like a life source,
like a sloth clings to a branch.
I fought for him to see me , love me, want me.
I used all my strength to stay
in the safety of his affection.
I loved like a sloth,
but I am just a girl, and I fell from the tree
through the leaves and branches,
and when I hit the ground I was alone.
Tears flowed off my cheeks in a stream,
until I floated away.
Now I love like a fish.
