When There's Nothing Left To Burn

... You have to set yourself on fire. 

Says the lyrics to one of my favorite songs, Your Ex Lover is Dead. 

How appropriate during these times. 

No, I am not lamenting over a broken heart. I am way past that. Five months have passed and I could say that I am healed. 

There's no grief. There is just... 

_____

It's as if I've extinguished all the fire that kept me alive... that I've touched the flame that I have always tried to avoid. And now, there's nothingness. 

Like I'm stuck inside a room with four solid walls, without any doors, without any windows. 


Dead End. 


Dear life, Help me burn again.. before I set myself on fire.
