one match.
kindled
one infatuation
this lit match
was contained
in a jar
in the innermost parts
of my heart
i protected it with
all i had
i trusted you
which was quite sad.
one day
you broke
this fragile jar
that's when it began.
hot sizzling ambers
glow red
as the morning sun
burning intensely
giving off an odorless smoke
see,
my heart
has been now set ablaze for you
its veins produce
a scorching red
liquid
that burns at the thought of you
it does not
only hold liquids
but it holds angst
angst
since you left me
in this fiery blaze
amidst the bright flames
at the bottom
lies coal
coal.
this black ashy substance
fueling the ****** agony
coal.
from the time
you betrayed me.
when deceit seemed
to only be on your tongue of fire
coal.
when you said
our love was like an everlasting cigarette
but instead you gently blew out the light
what a lie.
the blaze rages on
destroying the memories
of what used to be
it regains strength
it heals the soil
gives light to the new
it releases
exorbitant amounts
of catharsis
i feel it
the fire
will never die
with the unfortunate truth
that you were never mine
but the only thing that will be remembered
is how much i had tried
(b.d.s.)
suggestions welcome ! taken from the forthcoming release called way
