You loved me so fiercely before

I never thought I could actually feel that kind of warmth inside me

But that has receded so quickly, hasn’t it

I’m sure your’s has flickered away

But I’m still left with that pain

To passion for you

I want to always keep that writhing sting

That burning iron should always be lit

So let me burn that iron on my skin

Let it fizzle the arm hairs, they don’t matter

I want to be as bright as you used to have me

All I want is to feel that burning, that heat, those hugs holding me again

But now, I’ve just been left scarred

These pink marks embarrass my skin in all moments of the day

A reluctance has grown in me, an impatience

Ashes caress and float down my face, and my chest, and my spine

All I have left of her is this faded sticky note

~Goodbye to my Red Sun~
