a horse running alone

a horse running alone

and one tries to tame you

compares you to an impossible highway

to a burning house

says you are blinding one

that one could never leave you

forget you

want anything but you

you dizzy one, you are unbearable

everyone before or after you

is doused in your name

you fill one's mouth

one's teeth ache with memory of taste

one's body just a long shadow seeking yours

but you are always too intense

frightening in the way you want one

unashamed and sacrificial

one tells you that no one can live up to the one who

lives in your head

and you tried to change didn't you?

closed your mouth more

tried to be softer

prettier

less volatile, less awake

but even when sleeping you could feel

one travelling away from you in one's dreams

so what did you want to do

you are terrifying

and strange and beautiful

something not everyone knows how to love.
