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.
