You are the flame
that I light every
night when the sun goes down.
so bright and magnificent
you attract life around you
at every turn.
and you never burn out,
for I am always there to set you
ablaze again.
i love you desperately enough to keep
igniting your ambitions even as
they burn me alive.
i love your flame, fireheart,
for i am the wax that it
beautifully melts,
and we love what kills us.
