| you have been
do not come closer, boy,
not unless you are willing
to hear roars and explosions
instead of the birds chirping
in your heart every time
our fingertips make contact
not unless you are ready
to chase me as i run
every time you ask me to crawl
not unless you are crazy enough
to hold me when i tell you
that i hate myself because
i never really do
if you are not expecting this,
turn away. do not fall in love with me
unless you are cautious enough
to spread a safety net
every time i joke that i would jump
because you never know
when i truly might
