My heart flips every time
You start with 'hey baby'

I know it's just friendly
But I can't help it

What we had was good


I'll find one that's *better

I used to think
The only way to not be
Scared of monsters was to become one

So I *did

You were an acid
Destroying others
Making them nothing
And hungry for more

I was a base
An innocent mind
Eager for adventure
Reactive to a select few

We were neutralised
With me, you were tamed and docile
With you, I was someone new
Our beaker fell off the counter top

And
