--writing inspiration for your beautiful, damaged soul who finally found someone to heal with--

"The sun inside of him/
rages like wildfire/
and he is /
gold/
gold/
gold/
and he is/
scorching the skin of my heart,
yet he still pretends/
that he is safe for me to love,
that his hands are gentle,
that his fingerprints won't be/
seared into the notches of my spine.

The sun inside of him/
could set the kingdom ablaze;
he knows this, he does.

And he still asks me to love him,
to face the flame.

Find me in the ashes."
