The man
who kept
his emotions
at bay
drowned
in them
all
one
winters
day

you bring fire
and you bring fear
love that turns my heart to steel

there is so much more out here
so much more
that I can feel

I still wander
the same streets
the same path
through the same night

but without you
this same sky
is suddenly

so full of light

Growing up you're always taught the dangers of substance abuse

but no one warns you of experimenting with love

I poured myself
inside your cup
pretended to be tea
your lips pursed to the rim
burning kiss
bile churns
you forgot
I'm made of sins
