I sit and watch the early morning sunrise. The one after you died. The audacity of the sky to be so full of life and color. Bright orange and pink, ruffled clouds. Birds chirping amongst the trees. Cars passing by like nothing happened. We lost you, but only we knew. The sun rising so slowly, lasting forever. Maybe it was you saying goodbye. The voices around me so dull and empty. Just focused on the beautiful sky.

I go up in flames expressing my love for you. Watch me ignite. An infinite flame I have for you. But alas, I am ashamed. I love you? Watching the whole world spin as I go erratic. You’re just another girl, but my personal accelerant. Save me.

You embraced my cold, rigid heart. My inevitable future of disarray. Stole my glimpse mid air and held on tight. A feeling so fleeting. Feeling your warmth amongst my cold skin, forcing me to let you in. Trying to fix a hole that couldn’t be plugged, the sun doesn’t always stay. I want to love you but there isn’t any room. You loved me so fiercely that I burned; now you’ll only be left with ashes. My heart in your hand as you fade away to just memories. You loved me whole and I loved you with all my soul. With my whole soul, but not enough to fill the hole. Left with the ash upon your feet, how does one flee?
