untitled 7/9/25

i think i died that day. the light in my eyes became a dim purple like a flame that's bound to extinguish. it was only a matter of time before the wind took over and spilled wax all over my aching limbs. it still burns. it still hurts. but I don't cry anymore, or wince, or yelp. i died that day. everything in me that was able to cry and crawl is dead. my hair stinks of the flames and sometimes i catch a sniff. it's stale and old, but somehow comforting. i can't wash it off. you were the fire but i was the flame. i had to hold on until i died with you. will i be able to burn again? will i be able to fly into the air, my ashes dispelling a sound that you're only able to hear when you're high? maybe i can only love if i am out of my mind.
