everything we had collapsed.

by iffahnabilah

The fire turned into an angry fire, even if the flames were not yet visible. Our love got dark and indistinguishable, beneath the volumes of smoke towering above. Yet, the fire did not come that day. Only the smell of it, and the sight of smoke. The sky, bright yellow. I saw it coming. I saw us breaking apart. Did you? As the sky gets even yellow, i felt more and more threatened. Your fingers interwined with mine, we ran. We ran from the savage destruction that was now almost visible. Then you let go. You let go to save yourself. As the air thicken, and flames flutter from branches, flowers crackling, everything we built together, burnt into bare earth. I remembered you promised, for better or for worse. This is my worse alright, but you promised. Where are you now? You know what's worse? I'd never leave you behind. I'd grab your hand tighter, and we'd run together. And when serendiptous victory is ours, we'll rebuild. We'll plant seeds again. But you ran. You ran away. But the worst part is, I won't blame you. (FAH)
