Hotter Than Fire
Hope fuels the desire that burns
within your longing heart and soul.
And yet, loneliness soon returns,
levying a heartbreaking toll.
When trickling tears douse passion's flame:
Anxiety makes you nauseous.
And as doubts manifest as shame:
lust circumvents being cautious.
Happiness morphs into teardrops
within a world where wishes die.
For the lying just never stops,
and fledgling hearts need trust to fly.
The moth and flame begin their waltz,
yet courting death, she may expire.
Enamored, she's blind to fire's faults:
for desire burns, hotter than fire.
