half woman. half amazing

"for women who are difficult to love
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/ every woman before or after you/ is doused in your name/ you fill his mouth/ his teeth ache with memory of taste/ his body just a long shadow seeking yours/ but you are always too intense/frightening in the way you want him/ unashamed and sacrificial/ he tells you that/ no man can live up to the one/ who lives in your head/ and you tried to change didn’t you?/ closed your mouth more/ tried to be softer/ prettier/ less volatile, less awake/ but even when sleeping/ you could feel him travelling away from you in his dreams/ so what did you want to do love/ split his head open?/ you can’t make homes out of human beings/ someone should have already told you that/ and if he wants to leave/ then let him leave/ you are terrifying/ and strange and beautiful/ something not everyone knows how to love"

"You can’t make homes out of human beings."
