the candles flicker and they remind me of you.

a beam of light, attempting to go out.

i've never understood what it meant when people said,

"they're in a better place."

no, the best place for you is here next to me

where i feel the heat of your flame,

licking at my skin, burning me to ash.

you kill me, but i love it.
