You were a loaded gun, an armed bomb, ready to go off at any minute

A beautiful disaster that couldn’t get out of your own way

Your hands, crafted of acid, destroying everything you touched… And I loved you anyway

Everything you’ve done has been in service of self distruction

I got lost in the beauty of your brokenness

Your acid hands and venom words stung less and less each time I felt their burn

Your chaos soothing my own

The storm inside your mind colliding with the ocean in mine was enough to drown us both

And even though your carnage was never aimed at me

I was left alone in the wake of your calamity

Nothing but your collateral damage
