Your aftermath

And so it seems

that you've ran away

with no intentions of glancing back

at the fire you started in me

How can I, anyone,  put it out

if it has already burnt me

into a pile of

black

sooty

loose

ashes


I hope you realise

the mess you made

has made us strangers

on two different continents


You said we were alike

but that's the reason we fell apart

we repel each other

and have no chance of coming together


I hope you're reading this

and knowing that I've lost

this unwinnable game of love

that I've played just

to satisfy my insatiable

self
