What I mean when I say I shouldn't kiss you

I am heavy

No that’s not me saying I’m fat

We won’t dive into those issues just yet

I mean I am a burden

You will want to lift

For whatever stupid unknown reason

But don’t make the same mistake of all the others

That came before you

I am heavy will weigh you down

and down

and

down

Until you can’t even feel you anymore

I will bury you

I will break you

and I won’t even apologize

I’ll just look at you

With big accusing eyes when you drop me

How could you let me bruise like that?

Never mind your broken bones and crushed lungs

My gaze will level a undeserved rock of guilt at you, for not carrying me well

I will not feel a thing
