Fire and Gasoline
Like fire and gasoline
There is sure to be
An explosion.
I'm exploding
Everyday I awake
And see that
My world has not change.
Simple interaction
Ignites a spark
Trying to get it right
Explodes into a ball of fire
Setting my flesh a flame
Like lightening
I reach for the truth
But it leaves me burning
Wrangling on the ground
For some water to cool me.
A cape to smother the fire Bursting, hotter hotter in me
I submit to the torture
I have no more strength to endure Inhale
