My heart’s ablaze again

I can’t seem to catch a break

From the rapid burns

Radiating through my chest

 

Right at my center flames

Rise to my surface

Turning thoughts to ash

One idea survives rubble

 

I still pilfer through

Finding the same despair

Pieces of you from the whole

Can this be contained

 

Roots don’t fade

This flame we feel

It stays inside

Right where it started

 

Forever in spring’s bloom
