i wanted to hate you for all the reasons
i never knew. i took pills to keep quiet
to keep from killing the mystery you
saw in me. i wanted to love you for all the
reasons they had me believe.

but you are

not what i have been missing here sleeping
between the lines, all the crimes that play
inside my mind, ways to murder you to
drive you to madness and further.
beyond that beyond this

our first kiss and how everything falls apart
after that.
