icarus had it easy.
at least the sun didn’t pretend to care.
it never smiled soft, never said stay, never reached out halfway.
you did.
you made me believe i could touch you and live.
and when i fell, you called it tragedy.
yet you were the one who handed me the wings.
you teach me what the sun taught icarus.
that beauty can be cruel and warmth can lie.
you glow like safety
and love like punishment.
yet still i rise.
because I would always, certainly rather burn than stay cold.
