Do not fall in love
With people like me.
people like me
will love you so hard
that you turn into stone
into a statue where people
come to marvel at how long
it must have taken to carve
that faraway look into your eyes
Do not fall in love with people like me
we will take you to
museums and parks
and monuments
and kiss you in every beautiful
place so that you can
never go back to them
without tasting us
like blood in your mouth
Do not come any closer.
people like me
are bombs
when our time is up
we will splatter loss
all over your walls
in angry colors
that make you wish
your doorway never
learned our name
do not fall in love
with people like me.
with the lonely ones
we will forget our own names
if it means learning yours
we will make you think
hurricanes are gentle
that pain is a gift
you will get lost
in the desperation
in the longing for something
that is always reaching
but never able to hold
do not fall in love
with people like me.
we will destroy your
apartment
we will throw apologies at you
that shatter on the floor
and cut your feet
we will never learn
how to be soft
we will leave.
we always do.
Do not fall in love with people like me
People like me will love you so hard
That you turn into stone into a statue where people
Come to marvel at how long it must have taken to carve

And kiss you in every beautiful place so that you can
Never go back to them without tasting us
Like blood in your mouth

When our time is up, we will splatter loss
All over your walls, in angry colors

We will make you think hurricanes are gentle

We will throw apologies at you that shatter on the floor
And cut your feet
We will never learn how to be soft
We will leave
We always do
