“Did I Know?” - By Devyani Konkati of BTCFS I Year

Being frightened of him,

I cried in your arms,

But

Nevermore I realized it was you.

Your flame was keeping me warm, 

Yet I did not notice,

My burns were from your fire.

You were trying to heal my wounds, 

Despite those scars, I took from you,

You were the problem we were solving,

For all that

Neither I knew I let you be it,

Little did I know you would stab me,

But little did you know I would let you twist that knife.
