i. no amount of fire i spat at you and your snowstorm heart was ever enough to make it feel again like the summer we met
ii. i keep lighting matches in my ribcage hoping to melt you right out of the puncture wounds you left in my chest
iii. it’s been almost 24 months since then and i’m still swallowing antifreeze

I like this quite a bit.
It's construction, it's brevity, it's clear voice- it is a stand alone piece of work.

If it was reworked to read '...make it feel again like the summer we met' the message would fly straighter.
