Everything I touch shatters

The fire in my eyes turns it to ash

My heart is a rock, it was turned to stone.

I should stop touching things

They may stop breaking

But then how do I survive?

Stand back!

Don’t come any nearer.

I don’t want to break you too…

Oh my darling,

Oh my sweet child,

Oh my love.

Must you be confined to such pain?

Have I trapped you in that prison,

The prison of your mind?

You worry and it’s nobody’s fault

Save for my own. The only solution

Is for me to leave. I can’t.
