Implicit as lit smoke
your words they stun.
I receive them in ears
when I expected none.
Hold this affixed coy
little smile you have.
When you look at me
it splits me into half.
You play games I do
to myself allow done
because I am reckless
the thrill I want some.
I pretend not to see
your frequency is set
to go off and explode
it approaches I sweat.
Behind it all a ferocity
sparks I saw not before.
I won’t let another sight
replace it I want more.
I say it all the time but
I always find it so hard
to learn I never learn
who people really are.
You teach, I’ve learned,
to accept this cold life.
Let us speed past strife
living ever in surprise.
There is half of me gone,
you have done so well,
so let us go at full speed
past where cold it dwells.
