How could anyone every understand
this swirling,
cascade of fire and death
inside of my soul?
How could anyone ever understand
the blizzard in my heart,
of lightning and hail.
How can you not see
the dead stars
in my gentle eyes?
Do you not feel it?
the Venom in my veins when I hold you tight?
or the Fire in my flesh
when you walk beside me?
Do you not see
the pain cracked upon my lips
when i smile?
Do you not hear
dreams die to my footfalls?
