um who wrote this????????

and rather than asking remember when we lit that tree on fire it's her saying it without even looking at you, we lit that tree on fucking fire so you get to smile and say it back, I remember... over your glass... the lights of the bar reflected off the crystal into your mouth… and she catalogs it, she writes it on a gum wrapper when you're in the bathroom and slides it into your purse as you hug goodbye. her mouth ten seconds away from your neck and her hand between the fabric past the zipper, your teeth in that light looked like flint 
it's a threat, quiet. innocent except for the way you know she'd say it. 
don't you dare forget
