Not sure if this fits your needs but feel free to use it:
Delicate
I was delicate with nothing I stood by watched things disappear An ocean stealing sand castles at night the slow erosion of soil the bottle of vodka you hid behind the trash can
quiet as sunrise I fell out of love recklessly.
I was barely bound to this earth. so how could I be tied to you? Like helium I floated in a constant push to escape our plastic bubble
Now I dream of you shattered quickly like guitars on stages I heard you’re drinking again stare at that photo you took with a gun wrinkled into the skin of your temples
Blame myself. Even when I was folding your laundry I never committed to you
When you were so delicate I should have known better. All of my metaphors for kissing are violent You were a man I should have known better.
You didn’t shatter. you exploded into shreds of red plastic.
I don’t know if you’re drinking again I’m not sure it is my place to care. It’s a privilege you offered once that was carelessly refused

Delicate
I was delicate with nothing
I stood by
watched things disappear
An ocean stealing sand castles at night
the slow erosion of soil
the bottle of vodka you hid behind the trash can
quiet as sunrise
I fell out of love recklessly.
I was barely bound to this earth.
so how could I be tied to you?
Like helium I floated in a constant push
to escape our plastic bubble
Now I dream of you
shattered quickly like guitars on stages
I heard you’re drinking again
stare at that photo you took
with a gun wrinkled into the skin of your temples
Blame myself.
Even when I was folding your laundry
I never committed to you
When you were so delicate
I should have known better.
All of my metaphors for kissing are violent
You were a man
I should have known better.
You didn’t shatter.
you exploded into shreds of red plastic.
I don’t know if you’re drinking again
I’m not sure it is my place to care.
It’s a privilege you offered once
