never enough

A Poem by cechx

There’s an anger burning inside my body I cannot seem to rid of. You laid me in the fire pit and walked away with the extinguisher. I don’t know how to explain the feeling you placed into the mix of emotions I already felt. The fire traced my body with its fingers just as you did and slowly took up every waking moment of my early mornings’ sunrise and late into the nights glowing stars. I fell asleep with a burn in my stomach and woke up spewing rage from the lips that once hugged yours. I gave you everything hoping that it would finally make you want to stay but instead you went away leaving nothing but a forest fire behind. I fed you my body at breakfast and any love I had left to give for dinner, I decorated my body in your name, and I painted my mind with every detail of your face, I felt as though I could spend the rest of my life thinking of you, and I still wouldn’t be a fraction of enough.
