love me (to ashes to ashes)

and I'll love you to life

By Amber GracePublished 11 months ago 1 min read

ash falls like snow around us and none of it touching you

I will do anything

anything

not to lose

my favorite escape and my best excuse

because as long as my love is true

it's okay that I cannot do

anything

well, anything for me, and not you

anything that moves me forward or

anything new

there's so much you want me to do

as long as it's not a threat and it's not too...

anything.

I love you.

I bury myself for you.

Anything threatening, I throw

into the fire.

No harm to my lover.

I am burned all over.
