When a fire burns,
the wood cracks,
the charcoal crumbles,
and fall’s leaves combust under the heat.
For a fire to sustain, it must burn,
destroying what made it flourish.
When you said we were a flame,
you didn’t realize that your love was our destruction,
burning holes into the people we were.
Destroying ourselves for a love
that turned us to ash.
