your words are a sweet something that have turned
everything i used to love thoroughly bitter.
you turned those fluttering
butterflies in my stomach to ash.
you burnt them the way you
burn everything.
the way you burnt
me.
i can't seem to
stop staring.
i'm supposed to be
over
you.
we're fine now.
it's all water under the bridge but
the one exception is
i am drowning in the water,
i am drowning in your words.
and the bridge is burning,
just like everything you've ever touched.
just like me.
how crazy is it,
that one can burn and
have their lungs filled with water all
at the same time.
how insane is it,
that you can love someone and
want to hurt them all
at the same time.
