Burning with you

By Trail of Fiends

How we became fire?
And drove desire to its peak?

In your heart
At your pace
I was lost in your rhythm
So unstable
So passionate for me
I was scared
I had nothing to say
I couldn't feel the day
While your ghost kept bleeding in my arms

You walked away
I followed your trace
Your nest was a lake of glass
Where you were good at things you never did
And there was the presence of the public eyes

So here I am
Pleasantly inert
With spirals of fire
Excited to forge the everlasting two faces
One gets pain and depression
The other gets sick and depressed

Quit the shame
We're the same
We're the center of Earth
How our skins melt by the envy of outsiders
Dancing over puddles of blood
With only tissues connecting
And air cells perfusing

Flames inside us
Let go
And lovers will lay

    "So here I am / Pleasantly inert / With spirals of fire" - this is marvellous; it just subsumes me. Powerful and compelling and beautiful. Lovely write.
