Time Bombs and Kisses

The device swings
Between love and hate
Like and lust
Good and evil

It veers
Ricochets across my heart
Keeps time with the beat
Thump--thump in my chest

I want a kiss that means something
To taste hungry lips
To drink someone in
A life line

I'm drowning here
Fluxing between okay
And heartbroken
Trip the switch

And self destruct.
