two sides to every coin

the way you hug me is all-encompassing and leaves me breathless

the way you hug me is far too much and suffocates me


you walk around like you just don’t care

like you own the place

you walk around apathetically

like everything is expendable


everything you touch turns so bright

everything you touch is consumed by fire


you ask me to text you back as soon as possible

because you worry

you get mad when I don’t text you back as soon as possible

because you are controlling


we hang out in secret because you think it’s exciting

we hang out in secret because you are ashamed of me


your hand is on my thigh as you drive

because you love the contact

your hand invades my space as you drive

because you are insatiable


it seems that you are what I’ve been looking for

it seems that you are what I’ve been running from all these years


you are my best friend

I’d even call you my holy resurrection

you are my worst enemy

I’d even call you my imminent demise
