Ablaze

you see me standing here

eyes lit like a torch.

Teeth showing, lips curled

Head slightly on a tilt

Palms radiating icy hot flames

as if I throw fire for fun.

Filled with rage, head to tippy toes.

Go ahead hot shot

Douse me with lighter fluid

Set me on fire again

I’ll take you with me next time

Not a threat but a promise.

Doubt me? Light the match fool

A shrug of the shoulders.

Let’s see how this goes.

You call me names,

push all my buttons for sport.

sticks and stones love

a wench? Who? Little old Me?

I speak my mind, I bite back

You say so, Therefore I am, an ugly wench

in those blind eyes of yours.

That’s rich, coming from a little bitch

Like you.

*Dark laughter erupts from my mouth,

warm like blood, bitter like your soul*

the satisfaction you seek

Will never be attained

breaking me in pieces is your wish

Don’t make me laugh

Ive been fractured, never obliterated

I keep coming back,

as if I enjoy this

Proving you wrong, time after time

bit by bit

I rise from the dead as if these bruises and wounds don’t hurt.

I set you ablaze just to watch you burn 🔥
