Hold me closer as I slip from your enclosed embrace
I can't stand too close to you
The fire is all consuming now
You douse the flames with gas
The cooling water long gone
Your fingertips trail along my arms
Leaving gouges
Splinters of broken glass embedded deep within
Blood trails and drips
You are the cause of this.
My hair is gone from the constant tugging
Yanking the strands is a form of release
Release from this inside pain.
My heart melts
Drips from my finger tips down to those forgotten puddles at our feet
You splash in them without a care in the world.
