because i know that sometimes
i am delicious beyond my scars

i am silent when angry
because i know that sometimes
i am capable of 'too much'

i am fierce in my love
because i know that sometimes
softness just isn't enough

i am frightened of myself
because i know that sometimes
i am unaware of the depth of my pain

i am like taffy left in the sun
because i know that sometimes
my vulnerability is my only asset

i am weakened by his touch
because i know that sometimes
his fire absolves my impurities

i am capable of UN-learning
because i know that sometimes
there is no truth to what i know

i am evolution in progress
because i know that sometimes
i dream of a me that held fire in her hands
and walked upon the seas
and i see all of my future selves
in the clouds of doubt in your eyes

i am more than the space between us

her: is that good or bad?
