It’s more than butterflies in the pits of my belly
I may have a bat
hurling around in there.
I am MORE than in love with you.
I am the moth dancing around the fire,
scalding myself repetitively as I enjoy every flicker of flame .
It isn’t rational that you have the force of a jet plane,
taking me high enough that it feels like we might reach the moon,
but always
with the potential to thunder to the floor,
shatter me into pieces of mercury,
separating and rushing in different directions
Until I’m torn up,
like sheets of unwanted poetry.
I don’t no who I am anymore.
You frighten me.
Your latent has me on the brink of dread,
If only I was sane enough to stay away,
Instead I’m the girl from the psychiatric ward who
doesn’t know how to take care of herself.
They say insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly
expecting a different result,
and here I am again.
I’ve been telling myself that you don’t matter,
when really you are as essential to me as breathing,
without the air you bring
I would deflate,
I hope this time you haven’t brought me back to life
Just to enjoy killing me all over again.
