Light me on fire
so then i could feel passionate

you do not ignite me
like i wish you would

you are awkward and problematic
an endless stream of issues and broken promises

you aren't romantic
or ****

you don't sweep me off my feet
or take my breath away

you once made me believe that my breath couldn't be taken away
but now I know I can be

men have stolen my breath
paused my heartbeats
and silenced my words

and yet you leave me trying to strike up conversation
