Literature Text

constellations and perspiration:
you could have been so much more
than that,

and we both know enough about physics
to remember how this ends,
how you will break, and I will bend;

burn me and take me down,
serenity is not a timepiece,
and this is not a wedding,
no, this is not your brand of
historically inaccurate book burning:

this would hurt a lot less
if you'd just give up
("burn me, burn me,
yes, please, you could make me
something more
than this.")

I love the full title and the tension that's in there when I read it. Gripping! :eager:
