The Burn

My bed is winter
nothing burns
like the cold

This poem is for her
the paper burns
words fly free

smell of heartbreak
fills the air

Tonight I burn
I shake

out of the moonlight

into the shadows
I burn to the ground

tear me into little pieces

cut me into
little parts
just love me

I would rather
be blind
deaf
mute

than to have a heart
that could not love her

I love her
because of
who I am

when I am with her...
