what burns in the fire just ends up as coals
i hated you because you could keep quiet when i couldn't, and the careful nature you held onto until the precise & perfect moment. it was all i could do not to explode but i was still fire and spread slow, slick & smooth beneath your skin and i kept my tongue still firmly in my mouth not letting anything escape save for tiny breaths that i was sure weren't enough to keep my lungs satisfied and the fire spread until i was wildfire and my bones were kindling and you just sat there keeping quiet while i burned alive. wondering when you would ever speak.
