i love you like a building that
loves the ground so fiercely it sets itself on fire
just so it can become closer to the dirt.
i love you like ashes love the wind for 
scattering them. i love you like sparks love skin:
they keep themselves small so when they kiss your freckles
it will only tickle.

but i am convinced
all things end. i am too
intelligent to believe that
forever could ever happen to me.
one day you will wake up and
instead of meeting my lips like a fusion
reaction, your heart will implode
and suck the love from your bones.
you will become a black hole and
no longer want to hold me. you will
finally notice the things that should
have bothered you from the beginning:
my busy teeth and too much talking and
broken nose and endless questions regarding
things that you don't care about and
self-absorption and occasional bursts of
violence and you will say, i am sick of you
putting me in poetry
and i will be left holding
matches and gasoline and your words
will be my kindling.

i'm sorry i'm so preoccupied by the idea
of you leaving that it makes this dream
hard to believe in.
