Something Good is just Potentially Bad

look at me now
they say im on fire
they say im on a roll
stop and drop-
you light me up
i put you out

i am a thing with claws
aching for the taste
of your heartblood
on my parted lips

duty calls
so many things to do
to make myself improved
good enough
for someone like you

to my own poisons
i am immune
self-destructive, underscored-
i do not need you
you don't need me too

i have spent so long
in the grip of my own pincers
with you i feel release
soft and sweet
an act of cruelty-
since there's,
no way you'd choose 
to keep me

i sleep in your bed
your chest against my head
and breathe the smell
of safety
for once i am not
the thing i fear
your protection, your kindness-

the monster here, 
is you- my dear
