you once told me 
that I breathe in air, breathe out love 
the words I speak are cupid's arrows 
so I filled balloons with my breaths 
covered them with my words 
and left them by your door
I'm sorry I didn't realise my oxygen was your chlorine 
I'm sorry I forgot your poison was my dopamine

when the balloons burst and your room was filled with my toxic love 
did you choke, did your eyes water 
cause mine did when I realised what I had done 
and I wept even more
