Hostage In the Night

Like an explosion of fire i shall shatter through the atmosphere carving my ever burning path through the very stars themselves riding on the milky way my heart shall implode from the very thought of love finding bitter exposure through the tendrils reaching out to grapple onto something like ground for out in the stars there appears to be nothing, nothing that can quench my heart of what it most desires a feeling of security that among the stars is near impossible to find except for the company of each shining burning gas exploding as my heart so does forth unable to truly find the heart that is lost among them too and matches perfectly to mine Set ablaze in the wake of this grand betrayal my heart is shrouded in stone and ice as all joy and light fades from my bleeding eyes for now i know No fear and i shall charge forth through the fires of hell with the weight of the world at my back with everything to gain and nothing to loose for now i know that love which i once thought existed was but a lie thrown to my face to take up as if i were a starving beast scavenging for but one piece of emotion that be true as my soul so tell me it may be as i look upon the stars a wish on my tongue pulling up from the consuming fires that may take me hostage in the night

This reminds me of Hephaestus, the god of fire in Greek mythology. Keep blazing; however, blaze a path to life, instead to Hades the God of the underworld. Great job! Joseph
