fire

I am fire.

I can touch your heart enough to warm it up

Warm as the tears building up in the lids of my eyes

When you said you'd return.

I am fire.

I can burn you down if I wanted to.

I don't want to hurt you

Although maybe you deserve each prickling ember

Piercing your arms

Every cloud of smoke

Blinding your eyes

And maybe the flames will shed light in my darkest times

Where you faded away
