Fire Heart
I’ll burn down the steps that lead
To me, and never walk
On them again.
I’d prefer your absence
Than the brutal lies
You utter.
I’ll mouth my will and blaze
It too,
My emasculate word
I’ll bring to ashes
And feed it to the wind.
I’ll tattoo the fire
In my eyes,
And in my veins,
To light the torch within me.
I’ll burn it all,
Until the burn will have deceased.
