perfect amount of insane

They say you're not supposed to date anyone crazier than you, but someone should tell them it doesn't do to date someone more sane either. I've been on the crazy side of every relationship I've ever been in and I'm sick of being the stone that sank the ship. She looks up at me and says, "we could be a movie." I say, "we already are a poem." We are the perfect amount of insane. Maybe it's the way I can't tell myself that she'll stay that makes me want to hold on as tight as I can. Or maybe it's that I've always been the one to walk away that makes me so uncomfortable to know with her I can't. And maybe my mouth is writing prescriptions my heart can never fill but all I can say is what's inside me, and that's the only thing that's real. She says, "I won't ever be perfect," I say, "I wouldn't want you if you were."

xx absolutely love her poems, although the delivery still isn't as poignant and punchy as it is in my head
