so unexpectedly you appeared carefully picking me up from all the shattered pieces until i resembled something remotely human you held me close and kissed my scars so softly never once questioning their existence quietly accepting the cage i had built so desperately around myself until one day without realising, my home was no longer a prison but your arms.
lost are the nights where i would breathe you in feeling you slowly burn as i held you close, now all i can do is watch as you fall back into the void i tried so helplessly to save you from.
our nights are slowly fading, though the burns remain.
i often wonder if you still feel my kisses burning your skin terrified of the moment where you no longer remember how i taste sweeter than honey dripping down your fingertips.
