you watched as i crumbled
burned
turned to ash and blew away
you tried holding all the particle of me together
you used kind words and a lovers touch to try and coax me from charred state
you were so patient
whispering encouragement
whispered i love yous
but didnt anyone ever teach you not to play w fire
didnt anyone tell you to touch a flame was to burn yourself
i warned
i cautioned
but i burned you anyway
to selfishly try and soothe my own 3rd degree
