Flames and Fingers

Your eyes boil
with hatred 
flames intense
with heat
aimed at my
flesh to
cremate my
existence. Hands
carry daggers
with sharp
edges hoping
to penetrate
the heart that
was once yours.
My tears of
sorrow will
dowse the 
flames that
cannot reach
my titanium
heart that will
break your
fingers
