it takes pain to heal pain.
it takes waves and waves of angry oceans to swim in peace.
it takes pricks of shooting embers to feel warmth.
and i wanna feel warm. my frozen thoughts finally being able to defrost.
dark shadows of past lives melting down my face to my waist. dripping on my legs
clasping them together like tar. my chest, crimson red from the excess of love filling my heart to a near burst. my feet still planted on the ground as i sway like a tree in the winter. dangerous and yet about to fall and break. weak yet looks so strong.
