Fire and Flames

by CarnivorousCoffin   Oct 7, 2016


I remember about a year ago,
You told me that
I needed to get over you,
to finally let you go.
And so I floated away
Into a dark space.

But that darkness consumed me rapidly
And I couldn't breathe,
I couldn't see
And all I wanted to believe
Was that you still loved me,
That some little part of you
still ached to hold me too...

And it hurts to see you in pain,
When girl after girl turns you away
When all you want is to be
loved in return.
Because you're terrified of the thought
Of being alone in this world
Of the coldness that loneliness brings.

And I've been cold.
And no amount of warmth can thaw this loneliness.

And what's sad is we're both trapped,
In a guessing game of who will bring the sun into our souls.
And a flame always appears,
and for a few seconds,
the coldness begins to fade.

But each flame that gets close
Only gets close enough
To just flicker and die away.

But a small spark in your life
Will grow into a fiery blaze,
And encase your heart
in eternal flames.

You won't be alone anymore.
You won't have to be afraid.
Just let the warmth consume you
And let the cold fade.
