Fighting heart fire

Fighting heart fire

 

The embers of you

Have not yet died,

As flames still lick my ribs,

Stealing breath from inside.

 

Coals of simmering memories

One thought-drop of petrol

ENFLAMES! Thus it is true:

I will never be the same again.

 

Thoughts now crystal clear,

After years refined in fire,

Levitate amidst undeniable feelings

Whose rage makes me perspire.

 

What was supposed to die,

By water of too many tears,

Now lies dangerously burning

After too many years.

 

I am beyond exhausted,

Too limp for holding:

Great big fire extinguishers

On this unjustified burning.

Emotions run deep, and hurt deeply for long time. Prayer and concern for the person concerned can channel to some positivity. From eternity our perspective on time length and trails will be different. warm regards, Rhiannon

Thanks for commenting Rhiannon. I have prayed at every possible angle and for every possible concern regarding this topic and it hasn't put sense into anything... but that's ok, I'm trusting God, even if I feel like a psycho ;-) Trust you are well. Have a super weekend xx
