You are like a boulder
and I was trapped under you
I am like that kid
who went climbing,
like that kid who was smashed
between you
and a hard place
who had to cut off his own arm
just to get away
from you.
There is a sea anemone
that can reverse the flow of its own heart.
Can you imagine?
In fact, it has to do that in order to survive.
That means even if it wanted to
keep on loving you
it couldn’t.
Otherwise
it would die.
