remedy (she thought)

I am in love with you
tips of my fingers
slide through you
like touching frozen grass
still green underneath
but evidently gone

I took your vows as promises

I am in love with you
consuming flames
heart burnt black
nails scraping the coal
devotion, destructive
give in for the collapse

adoration, fixation

I am in love with you
like there is no tomorrow
it just never hit back the same
my thoughts had a home
for one brief moment
until you shut me out

same, shame
