Description

When I first met her, I didn't think anything of it
We were both carriers of the fire, we were itching to set the air ablaze in sparks
I had never held fire before, though. She reached into her knapsack and gave me her tools
And I danced in a slender inferno to cleanse myself of memories that should have been long forgotten.

But when I saw her move to the rhythm of flame
In her vest tied close to her head in a hood
Shrouding all but the lenses that picked up the dancing fire in the night

I fell. I felt.

And then she admitted to me, she wouldn't be here much longer
There was a calling in the stars for her
Thousands of miles of land stretched between 
And I choked

I tried to spend every last moment I could have with her
but I never reached the point where I could admit I was myself
I couldn't express tenderness, only stupidity
And affection was naught. I was lost.

I wrote tender goodbyes in a solemn letter on our last burn together
Watching her as a meteor of fire warped her body once again into a flaming pinwheel
Echoing the stars above she would one day reach.

On the bridge home, I stopped in the middle,
And for the first time in a long time, I wept for someone
The tenderness inside me that I felt was unlike that I'd felt for any man
Such a powerful kindred I thought I was losing

And I lost
