Burning on the inside aug 21, 2012

  

she is not wrong

I am consumed by my own heat

the fire that burns leaving not even ash,

 the intense heat more than

 any human can bare

 and yet makes me want it all the more

 to burn up

to let those heated tongues lash over my flesh

 burning me inside and out

and at the same time restricted

all that has transpired binding me

 so I dare not move or act out or

make any stirring she might not want me to make

 I am a man on a spit turning over and over

over the open flames and can do nothing to extinguish myself

 or satisfied the need

all I could do is burn

knowing I am helpless

 feeling the need she feeds others not me

 this blaze roaring inside me

melting me

leaving me to fade into smoke

and then into nothingness

 I burn

 I am consumed

 I am helpless to do anything else
