you are a horse running alone
and he tries to tame you
compares you to an impossible highway
to a burning house
says you are blinding him
that he could never leave you
forget you
want anything but you
you dizzy him, you are unbearable

is doused in your name
you fill his mouth
and if he wants to leave
then let him leave
you are terrifying
and strange and beautiful
something not everyone knows how to love.
