match

i stood in the inescapable home

the one you lit on fire with a simple match

unable to realize

i should not have sprinkled gasoline everywhere.

here i am, nonetheless

drawing closer to the flame

because i can't resist, i must persist

i want you, i need you, i love you.

that's why they call it a match

because it burns and wounds

it swallows you whole

yet you yearn for the heat.
