explosive
by Emily Davidsonbecause i don't want to scare you
i'm holding it in
so tight
i might burst
but it is no easy task
to keep my lips pressed
when the way i feel
shakes me at my core
when did such sweet fondness
become a violent, unrelenting passion?
where was i
when the simple gestures
became lost in complexity?
i'm holding it in
so tight
i might burst
a love
this explosive
could demolish everything 02/20/2008 Posted on 02/21/2008
