How warm your hugs make me feel
when I’m cold.
How safe I feel
when you close the door of your room,
even if it’s just for a hot minute.
Loving the aftertaste and its softness.

But I stayed with you for too long,
spinning in your never ending circles.
You were cancer for me from the start.
And now it’s burning, there are flames everywhere.
Waiting for the explosion.
