Thump.
The heavy sound of my heart
is just another reminder that I am alive.
I am not the candle you requested.
I am fire that asks for your hand
so I can burn my touch into you.
Thump.
I carry a pulse that refuses
to be background noise
even after my head begs
for you not to notice me.
Maybe the cruelest thing
was asking fire
to apologize for burning.
I want you to hear my heart
thump.
