A SCORCHING


I am but sweltering fury,

Dormant lava.


A winter sun

He sees, but can't feel


His warm hands

try to thaw my wall.

I offer nothing

but a forged cry.


The only heat

a burning question.

Her name?


Name that melted

My heart to a stew.

Icing to a standstill.


His eyes mirror

my glass ones.

A glint of light

Gets caught in

The reflection.


Searing control

Lighting the fire

Of all fires.


Flaming tears,

Flood the

bed frame.


I have him.

Surrounded.

Caught.

Panicked.


Mangling out

"Her name?"
