my secret with the wind

act I

mind, heart, set ablaze.

play with fire you get burned

for her, I’d greet flames

act II

from a seed we sprout

love, rooted deep as redwoods

one earth, two souls, merged

act III

betrayed, the words poured

“fine, I’ll date someone else then!”

salt water, wet cheeks

act IV

the wind caught me though

in the air, your scent blew by

and still, I inhaled.
