I'm burning,

Inside and out.

My emotions are burning a hole in my heart,

My thoughts are burning a hole in my head,

My body is craving your warmth,

It burns and I'm tortured.

The fire roars,

And I long for you to stoke the fire,

To control the flames.

I have a tendency to become emotionally invested fast,

So I beg you, 

Be careful by the hot coals,

As you look deeper into my being,

Searching through the ashes of past fires.

Be careful if you handle my heart,

And listen to my thoughts.

Because of all the people around,

You're the only one who deserves to see the licks of flames.
