Light me up

How empty of me to be so full of you.

So selfish, to fill myself up,

and leave nothing of you,

for yourself.

Consuming.

Eating.

I will bury you.

Come up for air,

before I shove you back down,

with my torrid affections.

My horrendous afflictions,

tearing us apart.

But I know now.

It was not me.

How foolish of you

to steal my peace.

Because I'm going to come back

a-blazing.

Burning all that stands in my way.

I will let this fire build me,

not destroy.

Building the life,

I have always deserved.
