you can't see it but i am a flame pulled straight from the matchbox and struck against it's side i'd been burning so long i lost my ability to feel
you can't see it but you are covered in kerosene poured over your body again and again you bathed in lighter fluid for so long it started soaking into your skin
i kept you at a distance never close enough to light you up because i was too afraid of what may happen to your smooth, tan flesh
but alcohol is flammable and as we doused ourselves in it I felt my body draw towards yours like a magnet
and when we touched everything exploded
like you had become a bomb and i was the tiniest bit of heat needed to destroy everything within a ten mile radius
as we laid there tangled up in each other the smoke filling our lungs i couldn't help but think about how matches become bigger fires when dropped in kerosene than they ever could have been on their own
