Dear Amelia

By Nova Rodriguez

 

They say we are

Strange.

But we are

Normally beautiful

 

And you are my starlight,

And you are my sun.

and You are the light

in my eyes

from the fire we set

 

When we found the bottle

We drank,

and drank,

‘til our eyes

Turned red.

 

The flame was lit,

Almost as warm as us.

So sad that you

Burned too.
