i’m trying to set my loneliness on fire
and find the world in its flames
but it’s hot and dark
and it’s been days now
the memories are sharp
i keep running into ghosts
and having dreams i don’t want to wake from
in which i see your face
and it kindles my fire
but you won’t blow on my flames
and these days i’ve felt tired
searching through the ruins of past lives
i wish i could put to bed
the characters in my head
they follow me
unwritten still
hurtling through the universe in search of me
i’m sure
looking for somewhere to land
amongst these flames
i am, too
i am, too
