Wednesday [PJ] ((LoA))

Beautiful. Enigmatic loss. Live long enough and you feel this more times than you’d like: the pain of losing someone.

Quick points:

6th line: “though” should be “thought” I assume.

Tonight, I sit alone,
letting the flames lick the last match
until they burned my fingers.
There’s an inconsistency in tense that made my brain stutter reading it. Either “sat/burned” or “sit/burn”. “Fly/flew” is not applicable, as it’s a different point.
