burning the burnt

my girl

when you opened your eyes

just a second after me

I was hopeful for another

 

there's the connection we lost!

there's that fire that smoldered

but you just felt my eyelash

against your cheek

 

girl

we're sitting in a pit of ashes

playing with matches

and we're only burning ourselves
