Hot and Cold

He was colder

than my nightly mid-winter walks

snapping, and yelling, and hurting

 

A boy made of rage 

being with him was like

tying myself to a bomb

and accepting my fate because I didn\'t 

want to admit that bombs do 

what bombs do

 

You were warmer

than the feeling of walking back inside 

to a warm home

loving, and caring, and calming 

 

A boy made of light 

being with you is like 

having someone there to untie me

and save me, and show me.

you made me realize that

I really do know what bombs do

 

Being with you 

is like being gifted with rain

after melting in the desert 

 

its like 

giving my love to something

that won\'t rob me of everything else too

 

loving you

is the best thing I\'ve done

 

loving you

is not a bomb,

its the diffusion of one
