Embers

06 January 2017

You set me on fire,

watching me burn.

Watching my soul burn from afar.

So you wouldn't get caught up in my warmth.

You ignited the creativity 

I had within me all along.

You sparked a match

in my eyes that glowed

of life and love.

From speaking to you.

From imagining your heart-shaped lips.

You set me on fire,

so i wouldn’t feel the cold that 

bordered your heart.

You set me on fire,

and I still can’t tell if I was supposed to burn out.

Or wait it out.
