Twin Flame

you're 

burning

and there’s dust 

on my hands

your soot lays like 

velvet amongst these lands

I’m choking as if my throat 

feels like the desert sands

you’re burning and 

there’s a fire in my head

the silk sheets turned 

to black in my bed

your words are like ashes 

for the way they spread

my world has turned 

into flashing neon, 

but one day, I’m afraid that 

I’ll awake and you’ll be gone

so I’ll keep smoking 

just to keep me calm

we’re burning, our 

flames are mirrored

I’m conquering and healing

everything I’ve feared

our ashes on this path 

have been smeared, 

the grayness of the 

fog has disappeared
