Fire and Flames

[eternalscribe]

I dream of fire
I worship the flames
I know that they will burn
They will encompass me
Enflame me
Scald away all that I am
And I do not care...

And inferno building
Deep within me
One that I'm having
Difficulty containing
My thoughts and wishes
My feelings that overwhelm
Things that weigh me down...

Do I tell him
Or let them fester
Burn and kill
Like acid on my soul
Sandpaper on my heart
Fire and ice in my brain
Everything so mixed up...

I don't understand
These twisted thoughts
These emotions that rage
Like molten lava
And erupting volcano
I'm struggling to control
Fighting the heated flow...

So I hide
Feigning things I don't feel
Collapsing in the safety
Of the darkness of my mind
Close my eyes
Fall into the dreams
And talk with Morpheus...

Maybe I should be
Chatting it up with Eros instead
Or Hathor as well
But that would just make it
So much worse
Because then he'd know
And be bothered...

So I continue
Volunteering for twelve hours
Sleeping when I can
Running when I can't
Fire in my veins
Lava in my blood
Fire and Flames...
