my mother warned me
that our love was toxic;
so close to breaking bones
like needle-thin matchsticks
but no one could understand
how you ignite
this fierce passion in my chest
between the two of us
and how it brings to mind
roses;
lovely, heady and strong
but painful when grasped too hard
but I know you would only ever
keep me in this soft feathered hold
