fatal dance - a love story between fire and wood

Velvet Poetess

there is this certain hunger

a hunger that cannot be satisfied by

another but you

I reach out my hand

don’t let it be in vain

for we both know how this shall end; let us

at least celebrate it properly

dance til death with me

let us light up this world one last time

before my hunger will have been forever

satisfied;

before the only remains of your existence

are smoke and ashes
