“If you’re asking, yes,
I did it.
If you’re asking, I was angry.
I was angry and yes,
I loved that boy.
I seethed with it.
I was furious in him.
Our matchstick love,
we set that damned city on fire.
Even now the ash has settled
into the shape of us.
Yes, I loved him,
Yes, I loathed him,
it doesn’t matter.
I would have still burned that entire forest down.”
