this poem is dedicated to logicalpoison for inspiring me to write when I didn't have the heart to.

Our fire died last winter
I'm not sure where to look now
If we're still rebuilding
Promise you won't burn it down?

If i shout into the void
will it hurt any less?
My heart bleeds, but I can't blame you
for getting me into this mess.

Am I looking in the right places?
Searching the right cracks?
Perhaps you'll fill me up again
Where my joy seems to lack.

But I just can't love you
the way I did before
what's the point to this
if our love isn't the same aymore?

Our fire died last winter
I can't keep looking now
if I find solace in the arms of another
promise not to burn the world down?
