People like me

People like me
will love you so hard
that you turn into stone

I will take you to
parks and museums
and kiss you
in every beautiful place
so that you can
never go back to them
without tasting us,
like blood in your mouth

Do not get close to
people like me.

I am like a bomb,
when our time is up
I will explode loss
all over your walls
in angry colors
that make you fucking
hate me and wish
your doorway never
lead to me

You will get lost
in the desperation
in the longing for something
that is always there
but never able to hold
onto it for good

Do not fall in love
with people like me.
I will destroy your home.
I will throw apologies at you
that shatter on the floor
and cut your feet

People like me...
we will leave.
we always do.
