All of that burning
You wore it like a mask
Or a cloak
You walked away in a veil of catching on fire,
As if you were burning, too
But you were unscathed
Beautiful and unharmed
Hurting me by moving on and forgetting to kiss goodbye
The only burn mark I wanted was your lips on my cheek
Promising that I meant something to you
You scalded me with pictures of her
And you left mudstains walking in and out of my life
One time you left my blood on the carpet without ever touching me
I felt you smiling
You've changed for the worse
As if you could set my ashes on fire again
Darling we were burning bright and beautiful
I almost didn't notice my skin melting off of my body and my drooping smile
I let you mold me a little bit, but I'm steel on the inside
You couldn't bend my core
My ashes blew around us but they were still mine
You couldn't burn who I was, that metaphorical victory where I could walk out of the burning building
But before I could even think,
You put on your fire and disappeared into your facebook wall
The room ignited as I watched
You, undamaged
