It burns too hot
Can’t douse the flames
Can’t put it out
I walk away
And let it burn
It follows me
Burns up the world
But if I stay
And let it burn
It burns away
The fuel it’s fed
I walk away
And let it burn
It follows me
Burns up the world
But if I stay
And let it burn
It burns away
The fuel it’s fed
But even if
You’re nowhere near
The sky is filled
With smoke
Compassion at the core
The heart glows orange
Embers fuel passion’s fire
Some get the blues
They can’t condone
The forest stripped
To barest bone
“This one is very, very yellow!”
She winced a little as the plea in his voice tainted the photograph of the very, very chiseled man on her Tinder app. She gave the image a flick to the right, thinking, I’ll come back for you later….
Like hummingbirds
Carrying thimblefuls of water
To extinguish a bonfire
