He was the lighter

She was the cigarette

He was the flame

She was dissolving

Every drag

Every flame

Made her float away

He was the flame that got the best of her

He was the flame that given her a disease

He was the flame that always pleased her.

He was the flame that got addicted to her

Or, that's what she thought

She was so naïve, so pleased

His flames ate away at her skin

His flames burned her

His flames used her

When his flame got weaker and weaker

She got smaller and smaller

He stopped his flame,

She sat their confused.

His flames never came back to her.

She waited and waited for his return.

Months to years past and she still hasn't decomposed.

She waited for him

She loved him

She couldn't forget him,

Even though he

Forgot her.
