et·y·mol·o·gy

i can't even begin to tell you how much i miss you
a mere 26 letter alphabet isn't enough
i'd have to invent a whole new language to convey what it feels like
i'd need to create another universe where you could still hear my words
even then nothing could ever adequately describe the hollow space in me
that was once overflowing with you

embers

we're connected
though she doesn't know it
being at the other end of the knot
she's made of fire
not metaphorically
i mean brimstone and coal
and other shit that's really fucking hot
literally
she'll blister your heart if you let her
fan her flames and watch your skin turn to ashes
it's not what she wants
it's just in her nature
she's a sinner with a hot temper
see that?
her blue flame smile
you stood too close
breathing oxygen into her veins
with your lips made of courage
there's no turning back now
kiss her before you melt
