i will never understand<br /> why you held me<br /> if you were afraid of warmth<br /> <br /> you should have known<br /> i was fire<br /> <br /> - Rupi Kaur , the sun and her flowers


I will bear

the tears you shed

and hide


I will carry them

on my sleeves

and hold them

tight

in the confines of my heart

Until your tears are my own

Until our tears are nothing

but

smoke and ashes
