i distanced myself.
i thought that leaving
and running
would stop the chaos.
the madness burning inside me.
the fire begging to be lit.
but i kept suffocating it.
i told it to leave me alone.
so it burned all my walls down.
the ones i built for years.
it left me vulnerable.
and i questioned who this fire was.
how it got to me.
it screamed and shouted
"if only you could see"
so i looked up.
and i looked away.
but suddenly i saw
the flame
lighting in your eyes.
