I love so hard
That I burnt holes through my lungs
I burned with such emotion
That I set my heart on fire
There was so much energy
That I shook with such violence
I steamed with such intensity
I left my body without any liquidity blood
I began to realize that I burned with the intensity of the Sun
and at night I could never set myself out
An ever burning thought
One prevalent of love and kindness
Forever warm to the touch
I felt so much
I could always feel the coolness around
Everything around me wanting to take my warmth
We could never share the heat
I created all that I could and they always wanted to be like me
I loved so much
I felt the world clutch at my burning flesh
and tear each piece of me to build their own fire
I keep building my eternal fire
I felt so much
and kindled my feelings beyond repair
That past love and compassion
Is the numbness that comes with the cold
A fire so hot, that to the touch is made of ice
My heart of embers burned so brightly
That even tonight it blinds me
As the ashes and dust suffocate my mind
My flames will always rise
I honestly don't know what is going through my mind these days, and it's so hard to keep going when I can't understand what people are thinking and can't understand myself.  Things that did help me seem to be only making me worse.
