I had chest pains for you
chest aches
chest cracks
chest fractures for you
A highly flammable heart
it burned me from the inside out
and made me feel like a new person
I'm better now, my chest is fine and I know that I'll meet fire again one day at the bus stop when the timing is right
but for now my heart is cooled and settled
settled so far into myself
falling
not in love
but sinking deep into disappointment
You are not who you used to be
You are not who I swore I would love forever
and you no longer need a fire extinguisher to put me out

settled so far into myself
falling

but sinking deep into disappointment
You are not who you used to be
You are not who I swore I would love forever
and you no longer need a fire extinguisher to put me out
