Toxic Love

28th January 2021

He is like an untameable fire searing the core of my soul and I am the coal fuelling his flames, we function in unison fighting to stay alive. I stay with him incinerating myself, hurling myself persistently into the enticing blaze. His flames enclose around me, in a suffocating embrace in pursuit of utterly consuming my entity. He advances over my physique, cloaking me from humanity. I flush crimson, glowing amidst the darkness as he devours my soul, igniting every fibre of my being as I burn to death.

He longs to watch me combust, pining for my destruction but his flames rapidly diminish because without each other we are nothing. Immersed in agony, I feel my heart shattering into fragments as I melt within him, I gaze into his emotionful eyes and the pain fades away. He burns until I am nothing but embers but I continue to glow in hope that he doesn't leave. Destined for disappointment I blame myself for his absence, obsessed with my thoughts I crave our erroneous relation.

Addicted to his alluring demeanour I am misled everytime yet I do anything to feel him, to be one with him. The sweltering passion explodes, dispersing the ashes as his flames die out and memories remain. We rise up as smoke dancing in the sky, intertwining as the breeze pulls us apart. Looking down at our remains, I mourn the past realising I have no recollection of a life without him. He desperately oscillates around me, I see the sadness in his eyes as I evaporate.
