i lit myself on fire
only to keep you warm
and when you got too hot
you had no qualms about
putting out my light
you were the wind and i was a willow
submissive, bending to your force
branches torn and whipped, forgotten
in the wake of you
i was icarus and you were daedalus
except you gave me no warnings
and i was willing to your every wish
and so you sent me flying
into the hottest star
