I’m sorry for the shock
For the way the air split open
Like a neon fault line
And the room filled with lightning
That spelled your name wrong
I didn’t mean to ignite the walls
To make the shadows flicker
Like they were trying on new bodies
I didn’t mean for the floor
To hum with that low, electric hunger
That follows me everywhere
Sometimes the current in me escapes
A wild animal made of blue fire
A pulse that outruns my ribs
A spark that decides
It wants to be a star instead
If it burned
If it rewired the silence between us
If it left your heartbeat
Glowing faintly in the dark
I’m sorry
I’m still learning
How to hold this impossible voltage
This storm that lives under my skin
Without turning every moment
Into weather
