i felt uneasy
in the arms
of a heart consisting of
candle wax
and brittle
bones
where *** hungry
feinds break their
teeth

loving someone so
fragile
was like a
glass house
who threw stones for protection
always and forever
on gaurd
i'd tiptoe through
the halls
as if the floors
were ice
and i had no choice
but to cross
i couldn't leave
because then
how could i relive
memories in a
different home?
