Why does my heart freeze up
when
I read words you’ve written?
How is it that
I can read writing
that makes my heart press hard to escape my ribs
But yours liquidates my blood
Until my fingers go numb?
It’s like this
You’ve got a canyon filled with knowledge
On how to hurt
You’ve got a library filled with textbooks
On how to make a heart drop
You’ve got a sky filled with rain clouds
That drop tears you’ve inspired
into the eyes of others.
Everything you touch
is sent into a whirlwind orbit.
You’re important
You’re dangerous
You’re vital
You are never merely an effect.
You affect me.
Never forget that.
