We Are Fish We Are Dead

By Ariyanna James

Love is strong 

That's what they say 

How do you explain when the word love isn't strong enough?

How do you express a feeling that can only be described as confusing 

I wonder why I feel like this.

Why everything I do can never compare to what you deserve. 

Every word I say to you is thought through to make you laugh.

Yet I feel empty.

Every part of my soul can be full of love.

Yet I feel empty

Nothing I so is enough for you.

Not in my head

Why is my brain overthinking it 

Why so you make me feel like this.
