Up in Flames
April 12, 2022
I tell you to
continue with caution.
We both know I’m-
Flammable-
but you spit lighter fluid.
Scorching my thoughts,
with each pause.
I hold my breath,
unable to handle your smoke.
I beg for you to-
put me out-
but you just stare.
Your fire enlarges,
ready to engulf me.
So I sit-
ready to ignite.
Together,
We go up in flames.
