I Am No Longer the Same

The color of your hair, negligence,
beauty, the burden of undesirable love,
like a world, burning a hole in my heart,
willing, wild, but unrepentant as a flame,.

I will do my penance quietly.

Do you fear me because I am not tamed,
'noli me tángere',

I am no longer the same.

Yes, wow. I find a lot of poinant sadness here in separation with addiction still a factor. Beautiful poem.
