They told me not to set myself on fire to keep someone else warm. But god do the flames feel good. "I want you here but I also want not to want you here" "why do you do this to yourself?" he asked her, holding her arm gently. He was so sincere she couldn't bring herself to lie. "because at least the cuts on the outside heal." left bleeding from mental lacerations tangled in my skinny jeans slinking heroically downriver. we don't say  goodbye.  we know it's the end but maybe not saying   it will make the world  stop  for   just a     moment        longer.
