i will never understand<br /> why you held me<br /> if you were afraid of warmth<br /> <br /> you should have known<br /> i was fire<br /> <br /> - Rupi Kaur , the sun and her flowers


Blood rushes,

it boils under my skin,

roars in my ears,

swims in my mind and

yet you are warm and I,

 

I am walking with ice in bones,

ice is the frozen stage

above my churning red waters,

a stone, a rock, a foot or

a sharp edged blade

could set my rivers free,

a push, a shove, a breath or

a single cruel word,

could spew cracks along my surface

and make no mistake,

you will perish with me


be careful where you step.
