![]() dream of fireA Poem by lilypadmemories light my heart to start again warmth in my veins like medicine i open the door, gaze at my collection candles in every crevice and corner my house is overrun with light but i am warm so i let it burn candles on my nightstand flicker as i dream of fire consuming me and awake to see the light i kept too close fell during slumber, catching every other glow i tell myself i’ll find a home even flames can’t reach i will find a home right? this is an impossible truth i should smother this love, i should be terrified and yet my anger blazes right back how dare you burn the hand who lit every flame for you? despite this, i find myself at the boiling point of decision light or dark? burn alive or have nothing but ashes? i choose to burn at least i am warm © 2025 lilypad |
