A Pale Flicker of A Spark

ida ayu tania

My roaring flame burns too fiercely
for someone like you—who has consciously,
shamelessly,
disgustingly been trying
to love a pale flicker of a spark—the one that has
so obviously been placed close to the burning flame of mine.

How foolish,
How vile you truly are.
