The Burn II

Author: Spartacus2012

My bed is winter
nothing burns
like the cold.

This poem is for her
the paper burns
words fly free

the smell of heartbreak
fills the air.

Tonight I burn
I shake

out of the moonlight

into the shadows
I burn to the ground

tear me into little pieces

cut me into
little parts
but just love me

I would rather
be blind
deaf
mute

than have a heart
that could not love her.

I love her
because
of who I am

when I am with her...
