i have the ability to cause mini explosions
brought about by feelings that i thought were long gone
like a small hand grenade
i was lit up — brought to life by your smile, your presence
i was thrown in the air — felt like i was flying at the touch of your hand
and the moment i hit the ground again,
i exploded — with every feeling and memory coming right before me
but unlike a grenade,
all the pain is coming off in the softest way possible
and the only casualty, however, was me
