#ignited
You had fallen so deep in love with her that she could see right through you, why did you close the doors on love? The moment you left she missed your presence. It was then she knew that she had fallen for you. Your love was intoxicating and lethal. You ignited a spark within her and now the flames burn.

Love
A winter night Missing puzzle Mist of lavender soft Who was she? Crazy Words her baggage Ignited wings fold

I wanted to drown in your love. I wanted to drown in your pain. I mostly just wanted to drown out the sound of you saying we weren't compatible anymore. It took me a long time and a lot of rage and self loathing to get to where I am now. To get me to a point where I can say that my self esteem issues didn't ruin "us" but that you're lack of trust in love did. I wanted to be ignited by your love. I wanted to be ignited by your pain. Mostly I wanted to ignite the fire that used to burn inside you with such intensity and joy for life. Once I realized you would never admit your faults and you would find any possible way to watch me suffer; it was time to move on. But each time around the start of fall till the end of winter... I dream about you endlessly. I wanted to slow down Your love. I wanted to slow down your pain. Mostly... I wanted to slow down time and stop us so we had time to figure out who we were together instead of damaging each other apart. It took a lot of rage and self loathing. It took a lot of tears and anxiety. But I'm finally standing taller than ever and I can easily say it was not my self esteem that made us incompatible.

10-13-15-- incompatible.
that lovely night when suddenly you put your hand    upon my knee and later snuggled up under    my paw around your shoulder a gentle flame sprang into life    from dormant embers when afterward the two of us were rocking to a softer tune than music would us have    (we never made it    to the dancing floor) the brilliance of your eyes shone through your flying hair   the flame leaped high   and built a wall   hard but transparent completeness was    within            * * *

Last time we met and gazed at one another You ignited a fire and left! You went away to your business Leaving this poor soul in misery and longing You ignited a fire and left! I waited for you until darkness You came late and found me unconscious The pain was so intense, dear What else could I have done? You ignited a fire and left! Just by your one touch I was revived Putting my face to your breast Crying like an infant, I sobbed You ignited a fire and left! You went away to your business!

YOU IGNITED A FIRE
All of the truly eloquent words have been taken. There is nothing new under the sun. Different pen, different lover, different handwriting even, but nothing is ever new. Always used. This pen was used to write letters to another- this script used to impress not just You: A lover, always a hand-me-down; passed from woman to woman, and maybe its your fate to be, too. Used and beaten and yanked around on a string. I will never understand how you can put up with such a creature. How you can love such a devil. But I know she does something to you. I know she ignites your desire; your lust. How she teases and tempts; submits and makes you feel like a man. But its only a feeling. A feeling which will quickly fade. When you're older, but never wiser, and her hips are destroyed from her dancing days, and she can no longer please you (what good is she without that?), you'll wish you had traded your childish wants for better things. You made a mistake thinking she could make you happier now, than I ever could have in the future.

Last April
Your skin, slick with sweat, Burns where it meets mine, Which feels to be every piece of me. It reminds me of the summers sun; I lay still, afraid you'll fall away, Your blazing fires with it. Instead I sit and ponder; It feels good to be under Summers harsh heat once more. My own flesh grows hot, Blood rushes to give color To my failing parlor - I've gone pale, but you! You've saved me from becoming weak With your self ignited fires, Warming me from within. Lips fall open, tongue is held.. A thank you slips out. Do I ever miss summers scorching sun..

My new summer
ignited by you and the love that you don't give.
