oxygen to flame the fire

Janet Kuypers
5/11/15

kept trying to describe him to my friends.
i mean, it was such a red-hot relationship,
sometimes our love would burn so bright
and sometimes it would seem like we’re nothing.

because now i’ve figured him out and now
it all makes sense. he was a cigarette.
our time together was so short, and like those
nicotine sticks, it burned out too fast.

when he was getting me all hot and bothered,
i’d take a deep breath, suck in some oxygen
to flame this fire between us —
and her glowed with a red-hot intensity.

but whenever he got bored with me
he just made ashes of our relationship
and all that was left was a smoke trail,
and a smell i couldn’t name in the air.

everyone was telling me he was no good.
but i didn’t know better. i couldn’t help it.
i was intoxicated — but now that he’s gone
i wonder how much pain this affair has caused.

i wanted to be free. i tried many times.
but it was like he had this spell over me.
i was an addict. i just sucked him in,
adding fuel to the fire that was once our love.
