Inferno
You bring me comfort, a reason to push you away
Used to lessons coming and going
Their blessings weren’t good enough to stay
Weary of whom I share my energy, interim people touching my lasting soul
Society’s habit I shy away
But you bring me peace
Thoughts of making you mine, words too vulnerable to speak
Could I be?
The word falling gives me anxiety
Eager to profess but ever so patiently
Waiting for a screw up, a sign to let up
So I’d have an excuse to blow up
Truth is, love is something I want to grow in
But it’s something that gets found without searching
Trust issues due to experiencing the worst within
Logic contradicting what my heart is urging
From never receiving what I was truly deserving
Due to toxic flames constantly emerging, from giving too much to those undeserving
So much so that I was blindly burning
Yet willing to try again after first degree hurting
For my other half that I can submerge in
To extinguish the fire in my loins, one that’s ever burning
