I am trouble
I am danger
I am the one thing that you fear
I never meant to hurt you
Or to let myself be hurt by you
I never meant to claim your heart
so completely
Or to give you such a claim on mine
It was never my intention
to change your life
change your thinking
ruin anything
You were beautiful to me
I was the angel you lusted after
We waxed poetic amid
the flowers and the stars and
hot sweaty sex
We had the world served before us
on the finest silver platter
and we clung to each other and
marveled at the beautiful rose-colored world
We reached out in desperation
and grabbed tight, and held on
to each other
Two tormented impassioned souls
Just moments from slipping forever
into oblivion
but finding each other just in time
Each of us half over the edge
Holding each other up and laughing
Never realizing just how close to danger
we still stood
Each hanging on to the thread
of the other's life
Like two beings depending on the same heart
To keep them alive
The same blood flowing from one
to the other and back again
Hanging, ever hanging
ever with one foot over the edge
Til you let go
Had you forgotten
How closely your life linked with my own?
