Burn

Just set me on fucking fire already;

My longing for you will combust

Into a towering inferno.

I will reduce this body to ash

In order to reforge it

As something fresh,

something new;

Like lush tropical forests growing upon fertile volcanic plains.

Incinerate my nature that it may be

replaced with something better,

and let my misery be the fuel that feeds the pyre

that scorches away my past mistakes.

I will write my apologies in the embers

And brand my promises into my skin,

that I may keep them this time.

And though much has changed,

one thing will always hold true.

this dormant volcano

Still burns deep for you.
