Time slows down
It sort of melts away.
The sun burns alone

BLOOD RED

My soul it burns in the same way
Loves just as furiously
Just as rapidly
Just as constantly,
That if you dare come close
You’ll risk turning into ashes
Because my love is ultimately overpowering.
It’s more love than you can handle.
More love that you will ever comprehend

It’s love you can only lust for.
Only crave. Only nibble from.

Love that you will want to take whole bites of, love that you will want to fill your body with, selfishly eating as if I’m a buffet.

Using my inferno love, my inferno being, my inferno energy to make you feel less alone, less pathetic.      

“More manly”

Feeding your nutrients by stealing all of mine.  Falsely claiming me because your intentions were never truly pure.

Because I know how to love.
You can only mimic it,
Play pretend,
Fake true intentions
Mirror my fiery passion because the closest you can get to tasting my
Love is if you pretend I’m all you will want to eat.
