Love
is the glowing flame,
and you melt
as it approaches

Listen,
be careful
with that flame,
or it’ll burn you
when that love
starts to sting

They’ll decide to leave you,
and you’ll remain with nothing,
but the fading ashes of that love  

You’ll lose the passing-by warmth
that once visited your frigid heart

So light up a cigarette,
and put out the ongoing fire
inside your chest with smoke

A childhood returns
For a day.
For a moment.

Laughter fills the room
Like before
They first left.

don’t you dare try to come back,
a haunting memory is all you’ll ever be.
