temperamental

you pride yourself in being complex
and I wish that just for once
you would let me see
the easier side of loving you

frustration brought your blood
to a steady boiling point
but once your temperature broke
we were never quite the same

sometimes there is bliss
in the blaze of fever
tossing about and breaking a sweat
feeling half out of your mind

the steady ache of feeling
like you might never know
what it is like
to feel normal again

until they do,
I am waiting
for things
to heat
back up
