How Love Comes and Goes

Love comes softly like bunnies on pillows
Like oversized sweaters filled with sheep and cottonballs
Like petals falling on llamas wearing velvet bed slippers
Like horses gently nosing cattails and peaches.

Love leaves hard like falling on concrete
Like bowling balls shattering glass-covered walls
Like teeth chewing ice and knives sawing bones
Like metal bars and wooden planks collapsing
On a silent piano.
This has been with me for a while... I waver between considering it childish and feeling that it expresses exactly what I mean. Maybe what I mean is childish. Regardless, I hope you enjoy it.
