Unprecedented

“I don’t know what to do with you”,

I say, my brow furrowed
in disbelief.
Kindness
has never coincided
with chemistry.
Passion
has always been accompanied by
poison
in one form or another.

 

Having guzzled more than my
fair share of bottles labeled
‘Drink Me’
I came to believe poison was a
necessary evil
to experience the
power I desired.
 
Apparently, I was mistaken.

 

You,
a combination between
the most tender of whispers and
a force of nature,
rocked my world
while cradling my bruised heart.
Never have I been so glad to have been
wrong.

 

I am reborn
and find my heart
dancing with abandon
to an unfamiliar
yet entirely welcome
beat.
 
You are …
     unexpected
     unprecedented
     and, yes,
     unnerving in moments,
but only in moments.
for in all the other minutes
in our Hours together,
I am…
     unbridled,
     unbruised,
     and, yes,
     unrelentingly
falling into your
precedent.
