Flames
Desperate for warmth
I will toss myself into flames
Get roasted in depths of hate
Unrecognizable remains
Burn myself internally
Till I become fucking irate
I can't live in this freezing weather
There has to be a better fate
I'm trembling on the outside
And dying of everlasting ache
I'm gonna grill myself inside
And make this heart into a steak
Maybe it will feed the homeless
Or fill the loveless up with love
I can no longer stand its motion
It's something I want none of
It pulsates love into the emptiness
And that only beats me down
Knives got embedded deep within it
They stay slicing and unfound
So now my only desire
Is to die from the fire
I don't wanna be this bold
But I'm just so cold
I will toss myself into flames
Get roasted in depths of hate
Unrecognizable remains
Burn myself internally
Till I become fucking irate
I can't live in this freezing weather
There has to be a better fate
I'm trembling on the outside
And dying of everlasting ache
I'm gonna grill myself inside
And make this heart into a steak
Maybe it will feed the homeless
Or fill the loveless up with love
I can no longer stand its motion
It's something I want none of
It pulsates love into the emptiness
And that only beats me down
Knives got embedded deep within it
They stay slicing and unfound
So now my only desire
Is to die from the fire
I don't wanna be this bold
But I'm just so cold

Wow this is deep, emotions seeping out from the cracks of every word!
I like the way you have not only created this poem to be a physical read but a truly emotional read!
The use of metaphors make the physical traits underline a deeper message... not only one hating the cold but one that is defining life in a different way...
To me I see someone whose purpose in life is to make everyone around them happy but in the end only injures themselves and is in need for someone to see them and give them the love they don't feel. I like the consistent rhythm throughout the poem it truly makes this an easy and enjoyable read.
I love the part where you talk about the homeless and loveless it really speaks deeply for those in need.
Thankyou for sharing your true talent of writing

I really liked your interpretation. It's very close to where I was going. I was thinking about someone going numb from the ache of no love, desperate to feel anything but, even if that meant the fiery flames of hate. The idea that any warmth would save them from the cold and feeling nothing at all, while at the same time burning away desire for love. I feel like your interpretation is connected to that mindset.
Thanks so much for your kind compliments and thorough analysis! I can really feel how much you enjoyed this which makes me happy. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts, and I am so glad you felt the emotions from it. It means a lot to me.
