The Fire Within
This fire within me burns
Paints my insides with ash and soot
Makes acid of my tears
And makes charcoal teeth chatter.
My words are smoke
My eyes, burning embers
My laughter is the hissing of steam
The crackling of burning wood.
You started the fire
Fanned it to blazing
Till I breathed it
Became it
Loved it.
Now can you feel the heat?
Paints my insides with ash and soot
Makes acid of my tears
And makes charcoal teeth chatter.
My words are smoke
My eyes, burning embers
My laughter is the hissing of steam
The crackling of burning wood.
You started the fire
Fanned it to blazing
Till I breathed it
Became it
Loved it.
Now can you feel the heat?
