Curse my heart and all the flames in it.
They singe and burn holes
in the tender, en-flamed muscle
Curse my heart and all the flames in it.
They boil my blood
causing my whole body to writhe.
Curse my heart and all the flames in it.
My passion and compassion
eat me alive
Curse my heart and all the flames in it.
While my the rest of my body
is struggling to survive
Curse my heart and all the flames in it.
I need to douse them
with the water of affection.
Else the frozen nitrogen of an extinguisher
will need to be used.
For my mind is racing
and my body won't start
I need some relief
from my fiery heart.
