3. Theirs

The cigarette that hung in his lips

was hers.

The book in her hands

was his.

The flame in the room

was theirs.

Their love

was a disaster.

It was flames burning in water,

lungs filled with Carbon Dioxide.

Burning,

aching,

touching,

killing,

Taking hate from love,

chaos from order,

bravery from fear,

and happiness from despair.
