ii.

loving you is not easy
it's like losing the ground beneath my feet
falling, always reaching for you
your hands gripping me, pulling me

i sink into darkness
i never knew existed

tell me sweet nothings
of how i am your world
yet you want to destroy the world
conquer it
see it all crumple at your feet

'i love you'---
i crumple, fall back to you
'i'll never hurt you again'---
possess my heart
let me drown
in sweet nothings
