I am
I am made of fireworks,
and electricity,
and chemical reactions.
I radiate warmth
as strong as
a heatwave in the desert.
I taste like pop-rocks
fizzing on your tongue,
snapping and cracking
like branches breaking in the woods.
I am the peaks
on a heart monitor
and the peaks of the Rocky Mountains.
I crash down like waves,
and thunder,
rolling, tumbling,
like a bowling ball out of its lane.
I'm a whirlwind of
everything I want to be.
A blend of excitement
and fire.
When I ran into you,
I erupted.
It was like everything was
multiplied by 4.
My chemical reactions
turned into atomic bombs.
My pop-rocks turned to sparks
bouncing off the walls of your mouth.
My peaks went off the monitor
and created an avalance
in the wild.
My waves
turned into a tsunami.
And while I kept going,
I forgot to ask
if you were enoying the ride.
Because you were so small
and so fragile.
My waves drowned you
and you put my flames out.
I was left with nothing except
a collection of shattered lightbulbs
and a forest full of seared trees.
I'm sorry my love.
I didn't understand
that everything I'm made of
could,
and did
destroy you.
