Long story short form
black, charred and fervent, Choking on your fixed hot buttons— Charred on earth, I hate those lines you drew On my hand.

I’m going to be sinking I’m going to be sinking all the time I’m sinking, And I’m late, always late Even when I am on time,

Art at night, Gregarious, beautiful—-we loved in a stunned state.
so, I didn’t fall in love with you When I first saw you. I was thinking about how foolish you were, And how my ex was telling me that you were unreliable—I held my reservation yet I didn’t know my future with you
