Incendiary
March 27, 2013
You came like wildfire
Indistinguishably incendiary
Struck my butane skin
With phosphorus fingertips
Clouded myopic eyes
Saw the ashes to ashes
Flushed lackluster lips
Whispered dust to dust
What you left me with:
A collection of burnt bridges
A drawer of regrets
A heart of hieroglyphics
