May 2018
looking vacantly at something that caught me by surprise
a queen, blinded by her guilty pleasures
in a free space surrounded by sterling men

instead she chose him
the man who’s no good for her
but she couldn’t see it
walking into a pit of fire

as a bystander, i waited on the perfect opportunity to question her decision
“why would you do that to yourself?”

i like the risk of getting burned
i like the thrill of running away from the fire

i love the heat
