sunshine petal
cascade branch
I guess pain
allows us to advance

like rain pours
and washes the shores
back into the sea
I wanted you to see me

sparingly

it was your fingertips
that burned into me
and it’s the memory of you
breathing on top of me

I got twisted in your touch
and curious about your love
that I burned us out
quicker than a drug

with selfish ways
and self sabotage
aimlessly trying
for another score
on your lips

paradise sick.
