Dance Like Fire

I knew I was going to die tonight. I knew because I needed to feel the wind in my hair. I needed to see the rain in the streetlights. I remember falling. I remember breathing so hard that the ground shook. And I remember the look on their faces. I'll never forget the eyes that told a life story in a split second. I'll never forget the words that could crack a soul right in half. I'll punch a hole through this god damned real world if I have to. I will dance like fire until everything is burned away. Until there is nothing left. And I'll dance with the breeze as it rushes around me. I may look gone, but I will come back for you. Either leave no one behind or don't go at all, that's what I say. I wish more people understood that. I wish more people could see the beautiful world I see. And as I sit here pressing pen to paper, I have this feeling that no one ever will.
