"when you realized what you did to me, it sounded something like this:"
*ahem*
The way we crumple
I could feel you twitching;
how you were shivering
as we held onto us
after the police left us
sirens dead
I felt you shatter in fifty places
a lifetime unrestrained
the crack and howl
for the first time
screaming helpless again
You couldn’t feel anything
guilty for me
for my whispered idea
my empty threat
my box of pills
You never meant to touch me
when you touched me
and the resonance—it was me, pounding you
I made you crumple—
Oh my dear,
I saw you crumble.
And so naturally
you never
touched anyone
again
