Do you know how it burns
When I'm not with you
And when I am?
When the river which is flooding
Behind the dam doors keeping it out
Holds all of its self,
frantic -
the world around it
might drown
Do you know how it terrifies
The brain that is aloof
From its spine
When the lightning strikes the air
for the first time beneath the clouds
And the teenager trying to sleep
Beside the window
hears it loud
Do you know how it rises
From the heart burning blue
Where it all began
When the trapped one keeps hitting
the door hard to come out
