Hollow Green

Inside my hollow green
Resentment watered, unseen
I would never hold out my hand
Then steal the only safety you have

Guarantees on a stove
Burning till each one’s exposed
I would never consume your one light
Then leave you to mend in the dark

But I was awake when you
Poured gasoline right through
Skin that has cradled your frame
Love that has soaked your pain

I was naïve when you
Said you enjoyed me so pure
Fostered my grace to harm
Deluded me in your arms
