The Numbing Flame

They had just finished sex
He said he was going "out there"
She asked him when he would be back
He said that she didn't want to know anymore
That he was hollow
And if she got any closer, he would damage her for the rest of her life
By telling her everything
He said goodbye, got up & walked away
He walked across a stretch of sand
He was met by an ocean made of fire
He turned, smiled and ducked under a wave of flames
He disappeared and the night started to scream
