Burn

We loved so much

that it oozed out our bodies,

bled from our skin,

tore us apart

and destroyed us again and again.

 

Too strong

to simply warm the air between us,

spark the night we lived inside,

it burned us too,

traveled like a fire and left only smoke behind.

 

But while the flames are dancing,

We're captivated.

Unconcerned with anything but that moment.

A dangerous focus.

 

But I wouldn't put it out

to suffocate the pain.

I would burn all over for you again.
