how to love someone who is so real
bodies pressed together in
one heavy current
our breath
your mouth
the weight of wanting forever
I found out what 'need' means
and if light were a person,
I finally met him
you breathe like you swallowed the sun

my veins are electric
my eyes cut from glass
running on empty
makes everything clear
sharp
important
I am a live wire
I learned how to crack
open my bones
let the badness leak out
like a slow march of marrow
I learned how empty
can mean strong
can mean purpose
I learned how much it stings
to fill up my bones with air
how much it stings
to streamline my empty thoughts
to my empty stomach
I am a live wire
I want to catch fire
I want to feel lethal for once
