We were a spark of life. 
You said you found solemnity here, 
Like you could build a home 
Between my crumbling walls. 

Your serenity was a candle held 
To my racing thoughts. 

I’m losing 
You in a permanent sort of way. 
I think I’ve been lagging behind all year. 
Your memory is failing. 

The peace we once held in knowing no limits. 
The naivety of girlhood. 

We were a spark I can’t ignite now. 
Warm, cozy, 
A fan meeting its flame. 
Burning at both ends. 

Should I mimic a girl that’ll keep you alive, 
Or let your love wane?
