Yes, I am clumsy

not in the cutesy, loveable way

but in such a manner

that when I tumble down the steps

I might take your entire heart with me

breaking it into smithereens

as you laugh about how 'adorable' I am.

 

I am oxygen

needed and intoxicating

beloved and utterly devastating

You cannot even see the damage I do to you

and I lack the decency to show you.

 

I am like cancer swimming through your blood

except

you know

you could cure yourself

You say you don't care

You love me for who I am

deadly, neccesary

your favorite kind of poison

a 15 mg dose

of clumsy.
