"Respect your elders!"
"Respect your elders!"
"Respect your elders!"
"Respect your elders!"
"Respect your elders!"
"Respect your elders!"
How about respect my boundaries
Respect your place
Mind your business
Stop cyber stalking me, Ryan
Before I figure out where you are and smack you in the face

Funny how quickly
A life can be-

I realised:
It is your blonde curl,
   The one that hangs over your eyes,
That makes my voice shudder.

I realised:
It is you,
   Not the sun,
That burns a white-hot hole
through my chest,
Clipped my wings
And let me crash.
