I’m drowning in silence since you left
It’s deafening... I can’t take it
I haven’t uttered a word
Since you slammed the door shut
The world feels empty
I smashed a plate
Just to hear
Something
Again

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.
