The Inferno

The unfairness of it all
Rips at my heart and tears at my tears
I know the right words to say,
To make it all go away

But what if I don’t want it to?
What if for once, I wanted to feel?
To feel you.
To feel me.
To feel everything I have been missing.

My heart explodes in my chest
A love starved bomb
the spark of hope sets it off
And I burn, from the inside out.
But the fire cant reach the memories.
Cant destroy the past, cant take it away.

No amount of water or cloth
Can stifle the heart
Not in the midst of such an inferno.
In this one moment, I see two paths.

One is blackened, collapsed around my feet.
The other is full of lush green life, surrounding.
At the end of the first path, I see the promise of new life.
It all depends on which path I decide to walk down.
