i can really relate to this:

"you didn't look back once

which was probably for the better

(you didn't need to see the devoured ashes i'd become)

and yes, i'm still here

waitingwaitingwaiting;

return if you will—

i'll be the one wishing on starless nights."

fantastic!

i like it a lot. some lines really stood out to me like the first two lines and then "i was the gasoline...struck just right." you have such a way with words that can make even the simplest of moments seem monumental. keep it up!

"i was the gasoline,

slick and flammable

you were the spark,

struck just right.

(the perfect equation for disaster.)"

I like how you used the parenthesis bold and italics.

Amazing last line. Great job!
