Look at my Heart

Look at my heart

It is a burning ember in a body of 

dry straw

The spark is catching

at the dry stalks of my life

and igniting them

Watch the fire spread

from my heart 

to the very ends of myself

Raging uncontrollably

through the emotions

I cannot contain

The ember

has grown to an inferno

and my soul is wrapped in flames

The one thing still standing

in this fiery wasteland

is my heart

While ashes drift

and the dust of my body spreads

my heart burns on

Look at my heart

It is a burning ember in a land

of frozen souls
