coiled
my gut is wrenching
a crooked smile
we argue about star wars and spiderman
i do what i can
tell me, what is worse?
to have loved and lost
to have never loved at all
or to love solely?
lopsidedly, alone?
unrequited?
i am the phoenix
and i am lit
i'm flying
i'm soaring, i'm dropping
i'm cold
the atmosphere, here where i'm swooping
it's cold when you're alone
