from the winter

You built me up, 

and dried me out.

It was only a matter of time,

till you backed away

and let me flare.

I will let this fire burn,

It’s the only thing that’s kept me warm.

And when you came back to douse my flames,

I knew you would leave.

I knew you would leave.

And now my love,

I burn brighter than ever before.

don’t come home.
