• Reach out, touch these flames, uncertainty abounds
    Shaking silently you watch: sick, twisted, unreal
    The flames dance about you telling a story
    - fine fire - fighting the heart's cold mistress

    Stone: you spin (unwieldy) tired: exhaust: you fall;
    Yet standing - fear - unreal torrents of wind burst:
    Through the air a change no more
    The blistering heat fades into nothingness

    Then cold: freezing, biting, numbing cold
    Blizzards fly about you - furious - but calming in its chaos
    The tears of your storm graze your heart's cold mistress

    Ice melting, burning: fiery ice
    The storm whips about you tearing into your skin
    - yet untouched - silence the eye of the storm

    Now a lie: you try to feel numb
    Only thoughts then rage: ripped, torn, gone;
    Torn apart outside and in

    Ragged sick unrest: you breathe: tell yourself: concentrate: breathe:
    in, out, in, out; done- no more fear but your heart's cold mistress

    Warmed: bitten with old wounds of frostbite
    Tired: it begins to beat, slow at first then steady
    Alive: once more flushing through,
    Flooding: your icy veins with warmth

    Your skin tingles, on fire
    Reach in, touch these eternal flames
    These flames that counter your heart's cold mistress

    Alive: this storm:
    Forever eternalized, rages on in angst:
    At the word: fearful of the day:
    When all ice storms clash with fire:

    Catastrophic: unending pain:
    Wars unyielding, fists pounding
    hot, cold; in, out
    Against your chest
    No longer ripped to shreds but:
    Engorged: with rage;
    Engorged: with tears;
    Unshed: still wrapped;
    Unsent: trapped;
    eternal rain...

    Colossal: this feeling inside you:
    lost forever, can never be expressed.
    Tired, fear, rage, hate, unrest, unruliness

    These fists that beat against your chest:
    choke you, kill you:
    from the inside out...
    dead.

    Alive: your heart keeps beating
    unwilling: to let you rest
    free: enslaved; alone: surrounded
    always with me; can't escape
    this foreverness: this storm:
    rages on, my heart's mistress gone.
