Speaking Without a Mouth (Poetry Collection)

New Flame

i had a match and lit a flame

and it was lit for a long time

longer than it should hanve, i now know

i should have blown it out back then

-

before i had the chance, i wa soutside

and it started storming

then the flame went out on its own

and never gave me a chance to save it

-

the match lied on my nightstand

watching me as i slept at night

but then i threw it away, finally

and it fell to ashes

-

i bought a new pack of matches

and then i found the last one left

now i've lit a new flame

and it hasn't gone out yet
