edge of existence

• 72 •

you were a fire

and you burned bright, so bright,

brighter than the glittering sun

that the ocean waits for,

with tears every morning,

to come around again

you were a fire

and you lit up

everything around you

with the flames

of your soul

and the stardust

holding you together

you were a fire

but, my darling,

you were put out

too soon

// and no one realized how it hurt to burn,

just to light up the life of another one
