Dear Fire

Dear Fire,

You can’t burn me anymore

Your smoke is no longer thick enough to suffocate me

My lungs are strong

I’ve bellowed for help and realized that I could save myself

So I crawled through the window and jumped into the night

And you called after me

I can still feel what I thought was your warmth

That scolded me until I was numb

My tears have dried, no emotion but regret

As I reminisce on the first spark that I thought we had

Who would’ve thought we’d be burning

Down the walls of lies

Only leaving the truth of decay

Never again

Water
