World.

If you love her so much
and want
to give her the world,
buy her a star and
name it after her.
Give her a forest.
And an island.
Give her you.

Spark.

Do you know how hard it is to
ignore your presence?
You are a flame that grows larger
and brighter
As you use up my oxygen to fuel
your fire.
I thought we'd burn together,
So your persistence to stay
Is overwhelming.
The stars would chastise you,
Had they been there to see how you consume my life so readily
Without a second thought.
And while I can accept that I can make you grow in the burning
of my feelings,
That is not the way I imagined I
would ignite you-
As you turn larger than life, and I,
As nothing but an afterthought.
