Ash Wednesday! Flame

​Flame 
Written by: Ash Wednesday
Picture
I feel you 
Every time I light a candle. 
You stopped asking me to go hiking 
So now I always wear sandals

But that's okay it's probably too hot for you to be inside anyway
You like to hibernate, the only outside time is between you and your Ash tray. 

But like I said I am fine with this little flame 
Flicking in the breeze. 
I've gotten used to the ins and outs 
The I do what ever I pleases. 

The on's and when it's on oh wouldn't you like to fuck around and figure it out. 
But when it's Off season I know it's because you're just chasing someone else for clout.

​But if you could stand there on your own 
If you could light your own match 
Well wouldn't that be something 
Can you even imagine that? 

You, yes you just standing there for all to see 
Not a parasitic morsal sucking up all your screen
Nothing disturbing or distracting
No more self preservation and acting 

You should be able to do this by now 
Instead of coping sticking more metal in your brows 
To stand there willing and face the flames 
Of all the times you have been wrong and made mistakes
Picture
​Fire Walk with me 
I have been watching too much Twin Peaks 
A show I am not sure you would have seen 
But I think you would enjoy it because we both like the same things 

Few have walked around
Few have stayed 
Where are we in this timeline journey
Each lifetime are we gonna be telling the same old story

Would've reached instant FLAME
If I had a soul to sell 
But it's been needing some resurrection lately
My heart is but a necromancy.

When people trust enough to share warmth, why do they get so scared of building the fireplace? Hands sometimes get burnt, but hearth’s heal.
