Description
i was never fond of birthday parties;i much preferred their deaths,
delighting in the scent of
the tail-end of a wish.
for sparks so bright &
flames so intense,
we flickered out so quickly.
i remember every breath of you,
every mouth, full of smoke.
my heart is on fire &
my lungs are inflamed.
your hands, they set me ablaze.
i never cared for them but
you have me craving
cigarette after cigarette
just to smoke you out.
i will suffocate my flame for you.
i will fill my fragile lungs
until the fumes come rolling
from my lips.
another year without you has passed &
i can smell all 21 of your blown-out candles.
you were a wish that was never meant to come true &
i just wish your heat would leave.
