Hot Issue

Just something I wrote one day, it was meant to be told to someone that I had a few quarrels with. He and I are now happily dating.

H o t I s s u e-
Yeah, that's you.
no matter the place, no matter the time.
You're always on my mind.

H o t I s s u e-
Love, lots.
Heart, stops.
Breathe, swallow.
Take it s l o w.

H o t I s s u e-
H o t Passion.
H o t Feelings.

H o t I s s u e-
Shaking hands, taking grip.
Chills sent tingling.
Shying away, away from innocence.

H o t I s s u e-
You left, you loved.
Her.
I'm still here.
Like a stale beer.
Left to wait.
For a later date.
Lay l o w.

H o t I s s u e-
H o t Hold.
H o t Lie.
H o t Life.

H o t I s s u e-
Lies, all lies.
You love her.
I am no longer.
You are nevermore.

H o t I s s u e-
I Lived.
I Laughed.
I Loved.
You.

H o t I s s u e-
H o t Grinding.
H o t Searing.
H o t Pain.

H o t I s s u e-
No pain, no gain.
No space, no movement.
No air, no life.

H o t I s s u e-
Yeah, that's you.
