I will love you
in the worst ways possible
I will take you slowly at first
then all at once like a sudden storm
The small light touches
Innocuous
A gale of laughter
Secret smiles
Like the sun playing hide and seek
on a particularly cloudy day
I will rip you apart and settle into your bones
Love you like you've never felt it before
As if there was no one but Me
I will tear you into bits
And open out the auricles
and ventricles of my heart
Tell you it's necessary
And leave
In a sudden storm
I will say it was for you
So you could move on
Find someone better
Love someone the Right way
I'm too much of a mess,
I'll tell you
And when I leave
You'll beg me on your knees
To stay
I will say it is necessary
and go away
Say that one day,
looking back,
You'll see why
But my lightning
Will reside in your lungs and breath
Even as I make you burn
You'll never see why
But you know I wouldn't stay
I can't stay, I always say
I will apologise
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
But
But
Maybe I really needed to go
before you sunk into my bones
became my lightning
and took me by surprise
I will make you taste blood in your mouth
I'll be your biggest fan
When you write raving about my misdeeds
and coldness
I will see your writing grow exponentially
In oceans and mountains
I will love you love you love you
The only way I've known how
- from a distance.
this is how I've survived.
