It licked up my soul,
Sloppy and wet like a dogs tongue,
Consuming everything,
Covering my heart,
Burning it blue and bright,
You lit the fuse,
The one that had been out for so long,
I thought it was a dud,
But the sparks flew,
And my heart felt like it might burst,
And it did, but not the way I thought.
It was happy again.
Your fingertips erase old memories,
The ones I cried over for months,
And now I see new light.
I see your fire,
My fire.
Ours.
