Loneliness, 
a combustible flame
tortures her daily
How much punishment
can one endure
before racing towards 
a desirable pool of regret?
 
Memory of his simple
sultry words  summon her
 
Colloquy
lethal as the fire
behind empty walls
and secrets fought
in the center of her heart
 
Shh, she whispers to hope
It's safer when our world 
is smaller.
