the only way to stop it aug 19, 012

the only way to stop it is to stop it

stop believing there will ever be a time

when the pieces of the puzzle come back together

 in a way that will resemble a picture looked like

back then even if deep down in my bones

I still feel the same ache

not love nor lust

but real desire of fire that's smolders inside me

only not hot enough to rekindle

 filling my head up with smoke and ash

so I can barely think

the only way to stop it is to stop it

to stamp it out only

 I don't want to lose something else

some aspect that I will truly miss

 once it is gone

why do we humans torture ourselves like this

carrying torches for people like her

not reciprocated though at times

I ache for the thing she is

not as cold-hearted as she pretends to be

 that a spark still smolders in her too

even though I know she is far better

at keeping it contained

the only way to stop this is to stop it

if I can stop it

 if
