We were lightning lovers
Sparks dancing
Electric between our lips
Teeth clashing
Claws gnashing
Monsters
We were thunder
And hurricane
And tornado
Naturally, a disaster.
And he left me
A tire
The only thing keeping this car from burning to rubble
In the middle of a lightning storm
He paints me raindrops
Bigger than the apologies he fits on the pads of his fingers
He sings me sunsets
Beautiful
And red
And ending
He was beautiful
And red
And ending
And I am very sure
That whatever we once had
Is now long gone
Whatever we once had
Is now a sunset of what it used to be
And I thank gods I don't believe in
That this boy already tore me to shreds
And the second time around
I picked myself up
Before he even got the chance to realize that he missed me
He misses me.
Still.
And if I was made of metal
He was electric
Running through me
Hot
And fast
And sure
But I am not metal.
I am diamond.
I am coal.
I am Quartz.
You may ground me into dust
But you will never run lightning through me
Darling
You will never break me.
