I had to get dramatic
before I could forget.
To burn myself down,
step on every mine,
ignite all stored powder keg.
Watch it
go down in flames.
That was melodramatic enough
and I love drama.
it gives me something to think and feel about.
Life goes on
For the ones burning at the stake
and the others cheering them on
we all will be both.
Inept
and disgusted by myself
I developed a fear
of the next love to come
waiting in the ash.
What if,
there is a next one?
