The feeling came through me like a burst of flames
Which engulfed me and sent me into the pit fall of you
The heat rescued me
You rescued me
I thought that all I'd find for the rest of my days would be
Darkness, coldness, disappointment, even selfishness
But in fact I found heat
A heat generating from the ground
Heat coming from the pit you lured me in
I felt an intense heat leaving Venus
When I fell in the fire I ironically enough melted away years of thirst
In the fire my flesh melted like ice: cooling and opening me up to new tastes
In that fire I bubbled and expanded like a marshmallow
And with that-
the toxins of fear dropped into the bottom of this fire pit
And the stickiness of hope remained
