We had swallowed gunpowder,
And together we ignite.
As we burn
A silent promise,
Caught between the whispers
of our cracking flames
"make them remember us"
Let our kisses be the embers of our poetry
And our warm touch forever glow after death
I peer into our oblivion
and I see myself
Too afraid to dream of yesterday
As I lie in the ashes of a fire once bright.
I watch myself caress the scars you drew.
Skin marred with burns left by your fingertips,
the pain that demands to be felt.
I know you will hurt me,
But you are love incarnate
and I am yours to devour.
I know it in the deepest knots of my heart
As well as I know that
In your eyes there is truth.
