you can sit in the darkness
don’t stew
heart frozen in glumness
deep blue
if the flames warm the edges
I’m consumed
blazing fire or numbness
it’s one or it’s two
both are so painful
but at least a heart on fire
is a heart that keeps beating
full of life’s desires
so pull me into the flames
my feelings burn through the pages
knowing my heart does its best work
when all fired up and courageous
