Ash and Bone


my heart is a torch
burning for something
that i cannot yet define

how embarrassing
to yearn for something
that is so foreign to you
incinerating myself from within

can't you see the scorch marks on my skin?
scar tissue
upon scar tissue
the blaze eats me away

but i won't stop the fire
not for one second
i wouldn't even know how to if i tried

smouldering slowly
sparks fly
from my tearful eyes

i'll be ash and bone
by the time it
comes around
