Aflame
To everyone's surprise
The world is terrifying.
From that one thing you did
That was just a bit too intense today
To that stranger on the subway
That looked at you a little too hard.
Everything you can see elicits that
Oh god, oh no, oh god
Beating of the heart in someones rib cage.
Do you think we're all just waiting
For the fluttering to set us Aflame?
