Arsonist's Lullaby

She’s burnt out. I’ll give her spark back if it kills her.

Lucy doesn't know I exist yet, but I'm what she needs to get her fire back. When her ex creeps too close, I cremate him so we can meet. When she tells me she's pregnant and it's his, I promise I'm hers. When she asks me to take control, I command her body the way I do fire.

I put back all her missing pieces one by one, and in her I find the family I lost long ago. I build her a garden in the ashes of our lives and, for the first time, I dare to believe life can be beautiful.

I know better.

They call me Stixx because I play with matches. When I find who took my forever, there won't be anything to recover. Only love can save this blackened soul.
