Ignition

I watch you as you light matches and strike them against my soul. The flames race through my being like a rampant forest fire, destroying every organ, every cell, intensifying every shred of love within me.
I watch you as you ignite my heart and love me like there is no tomorrow. I realize that I can’t escape my own skin so I burn and burn and burn until all that is left of me are wavering memories of your touch, and the desire to be anywhere, everywhere with you forever.
I watch you as you cover me in your arms, keeping me close to your heart. The world is far, so far away, chatting distantly about nothing, and I am living my every moments with you, flaming and loving you through and through until nothing remains.
