waking up on fire

[electrcspacegrl]

By some crazy random happenstance
you found me
an ever flickering spark
I used to know
comes rushing back to limbs and toes
like waking up on fire

finding you
is opening me up like a sigh

& with one brief
indiscretion
hasty, intoxicating
(I am yours)
you are no longer mine for the taking

now with a quickness
I'm snapping shut
like venus flytrap denying herself meat

a quiet lapse in judgement
I can forgive yours
when all I want is for you to forgive mine
