I lit a candle in your memory, the one that got away
I watched the flame sway and dance to and unknown rhythm, following the wind, the breeze, away from the cold.
I lit a candle in your memory, almost burnt myself trying to keep your flame alive.
I was so mesmerised by the flame, that I did not notice the building burning, I refused to believe that your flames were the cause, the flames I fought so hard to keep alive.
Your warmth hugged me;
correction - Your heat engulfed me;
correction - Your flames. They hurt. My skin, it burnt.
Bloodshot red eyes, I awoke in a cold sweat
I looked left, and right and saw no fire
Still, I felt the burning, from within
Fiery hot, refusing to be ignored
A memory I wish I could forget
Burning me from a place I cannot reach
Scorching me from the inside
