smoke.

I used to think of us as a burning house

a place falling to ruin that I would run into

time and time again

to try and say what I loved

I see now through the smoke

that took a decade to clear

that you were the burning house

and I couldn’t have saved you

even after every match you struck

every drop of gasoline you spilled carelessly

even if there had still been something to save

even if there has still been something between us

the blood

& the bones
