You are a horse running alone
and he tries to tame you. 
Compares you to an impossible highway
to a burning house
says you are blinding him
that he could never leave you
forget you
want anything but you.
You dizzy him, you are unbearable.
Every women before or after you
is doused in your name.
You fill his mouth
his teeth ache with memory of taste
his body just a long shadow seeking yours
but you are always too intense
frightening in the way you want him
unashamed and sacrificial.
He tells you that no man 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 
him travelling away from you in his dreams.
So what did you want to do love,
split his head open? 
You can’t make homes out of human beings
Someone should have already told you that.
And if he wants to leave
then let him leave.
You are terrifying
and strange and beautiful—
Something not everyone knows how to love.
