mean chosen one

orgasms come and go but you know
    you last
beyond my past
  I could never contain you
     you who remain
 my most favorite ghost
   the party host
whose party I crashed
   without apology
I saw the sun on display
  inside your soul
I swallowed it whole
     and I'm still burning
it's the best kind of burn
  I watched you push the other
      little girls
   screaming into the sky
   on their mad swings
 and I said
  It's My Turn!
bruises come and go
  but you know
love lasts
