I Wish I Had Been Wrong About You
Your mind was a grenade.
Your lips were swiss army knives
Cutting mine and for some god forsaken reason I learned to love the taste of my own blood
Your hands were blisteringly hot metal that held my jaw as if it was your most prized possession
I thought that was love
I felt at home in your hands but you were just stamping me so that I could never forget you.
But who could forget their safe house?
You looked at me and your eyes held me hostage.
I couldn’t leave you
You were my weapon of choice
But this wasn’t love
This wasn’t destruction.
