p y r o p h o b i a (n) - fear of fire
dancing in the dark
a majestic red and yellow.
you have the power to
annihilate the path in front of you.
you burn down walls and inhale
the souls that dare stand before you.
a might mightier than the lord
that all bow down to you
and all i see is the destruction
that follow you.
i don't see the beauty that people see
i don't feel the safe warmth that people feel
all i hear is a crackling; hushed
but vicious as a lightning
then how do i stay awake and in peace
knowing there in an inferno raging within me.
