Two hearts
In chains
Falling

Spinning
Forgetful
Tenderness

The audacity of a love
To enchain in servitude
Hapless abandon, simple
Bonds, release me once,
Retain me twice, forgo
Familiar and seek only
What you cannot keep
Under flashlight blankets.
You'll be happy now.

Tenderness
Forgetful
Spinning

My reluctance for woe
In a broken beat aligned
With shared malevolence
Above a degree of interest
Served under heat lamp
And wrapped inside my
Own lack of ****** security
While youthful lies quintessence
Burn as match stroke. Meanwhile

Falling
In chains,
Two hearts

Relent to a subtraction
Of fear for fear of fearing
Again. While you grabbed
My hands and I left stale,
My crackling skin reflects
A danger you can't hold,
Curses you never asked
For, beliefs beyond years,
But before us both boldly
Belies a simple question:

Spinning,
Forgetful,
Tenderness,

Does a closeness make?

This time I'll keep an eye out
For lessons learned, with the
Worst things I ever felt.
And now it's been so long,
I wish could think clearly,
But I messed things up.

And I broke my heart.
