Wildfire

I want

To fall in love with someones smile

To swoon under their gaze

To become dizzy with their touch

 

I want

To crave someone like an addiction

To nestle up to their warmth

To get an adrenaline rush from their scent

 

I want

To hold them and never let go

To tell them how much I love them everyday

To keep discovering them like it's my personal quest

 

I want

To give them my heart

To love them for all that they are

To keep them from the tainted world

 

I want

But what can I do with these contaminated hands?

How dare I try to hold them close with these hands of mine flowing thick with lies?

To tell them sweet nothings with my corrupted tongue?

 

My love

Is like a wildfire

Sudden, quick, and innocent

Without my permission my little spark turned into a flame

And consumed everything that contained a letter in your name

 

My love

Is like a wildfire

Untamed, ephemeral, and dangerous

It destroys all it touches,

Breaking barriers, burning bridges

It envelopes everyone in its warmth leaving no option but to run or turn to ash

 

Beware of my wildfire love

You cannot leave unscathed

I leave a scar

 

Beware of my wildfire, love

Because I'll burn enough for us both

I'll keep you warm on cold nights and dry on rainy days

I will set your heart ablaze and love you with all the force of my wildfire

 

Beware of my love,

It can't be forgotten nor replaced
