An Image You See Though You Close Your Eyes

“when we fall apart it means we were something once, and that makes it all infinitely sadder”

“there are things that I miss, more than I remember”

“through fire and through storms we have come, why should we turn back now?”

“some nights I burn away til all that’s left is ash and smoke beneath a dark sky and I wonder if you will remember me when I fade out with the morning’s light”

“when the stars burn all away to savage dust the echo of you will remain in me”

“there is no shame in breaking”

“there are things that I miss, more than I remember”

“I breathe out everything and still you remain”

“when all the wicks have been burned away I light my fingers as candles to fill the emptiness”
