mood swings: a love poem
February 28, 2019
She said I was too much, a fire eating
The match, I stared upon the earth and me,
Watching my rise, my fall. Relapse. Breathing
In flames, my throat burnt. I cry then I plea.
I cannot hear. Swimming with the batfish,
Crawling on the ocean’s floor. My family,
Cannot swim. I will suffocate. I wish
Again each hook was an apology.
I am caught. A mistake from my past life,
the memory card wiped clean. A misquote
Erasing myself, parts of the wildlife.
I scream, but water spills into my throat.
My first breath. Fills my lungs, I am flying,
To the sun. Icarus watching. Sighing.
