oh my god
i'm so good-
i am so fucking good-
until you step back into my space

& then i remember
the sun is mediocre
compared to the warmth i find
bathing in your gaze

& i keep trying to run from this
but when i think i'm gone
you show up unexpectedly

you find that wound
& reopen it
with a smile on your face

& oh my god
i could be
so fucking good
if i could keep you
out of this space

Author's Note: yes, the two do go together. kind of.
