I’m Sorry For The Shock 

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
