The Love Equation

    
If I plotted Love on a graph sheet
What would it look like?
(The expression of love as a mathematical expression -
Does it
Sound sensible?
Or incongruous
Like the sight of you and me
Holding hands
Would be?)
Would it go
Up      Up      Up      Up
   Down  Down  Down
Like the beat of my heart
Trying to match the rhythm of yours
Or
Would it be an arc
A perfect curve
Eternally lifted up
In a sassy smirk?
No.
I rather think
It'd be a jagged scar
Running right across
Ripping the surface in two
Breathing ragged
Heaving sobs
Silent
A soul as lonely
As the axes
Which meet but once
At the origin,
And then
Nevermore.
