I was so intense that I exhausted you
And made you think it was love

that wore you out.

You spent days being spent 

like an inadvertent swim to hold off drowning.

There’s only so long a person will drift

before thier lungs give out.

I guess I suffocated you but you loved it

And it was great, and horrible and weird

And don’t act like I threw my own self into tangents.

You’d request an ocean 

And I spilled.
