"I had loved, and have been loved.
Then, I fell in love.... it almost broke me.
No more, but always, thank you.
I cashed my soul in at the door.
My flame-licked cape is in the coat closet,
like a failed hero...flying through fire, just to drown.
Please, keep any offers of love.
I lost, when I doubled down.
Don't touch my effing cape though, I earned it; it reminds me...
no matter how sweet it seemed, the 'love', was only poisoned honey."

Leaking my brain into print seemed a better option than on the pavement.
