Fears and Fires

Run from me
for you know
I am fire,
and your heart’s
been burnt
beyond repair,

run from me
for I now know
your fear of fires,
and I’m the rawest
of the raw
that will ever exist,

run from me
for you pretend
a mirage,
the love
you know
in my fire exists,

run from me
till this mortal
eternity,
and I’ll still
be there
at sunrise again,

for maybe
a new heart
is what you need,
to know
that a hearth is all
this fire seeks.
