Melting

i wasn’t always like this my flesh burned my desire for you you with hands that covered mine melting me my hard swallow of what i could never have i remember the last glance flames you denied instead threw on me you turned cold out of survival out of guilt for other’s sins you numb safe with your numbers hanging on a net well above the flames our flames like i said i wasn’t always like this my flesh scarred my embers of you
