strike a match watch the flame flicker hover your hand over it's warmth bringing it closer and closer to your skin but never letting it touch the burn would hurt too much the hesitation shows there's still some hope the flame has not yet scorched your happiness. Watch the flame die down throw the match away you're not an angel on fire today.

flames that threaten
strike a match watch the flame flicker hover your hand over it's warmth bringing it closer and closer to your skin but never letting it touch the burn would hurt too much the hesitation shows there's still some hope the flame has not yet scorched your happiness. Watch the flame die down throw the match away you're not an angel on fire today.
