In the blackened coals that are your eyes I see a spark.
I take in the air around me
blow it out over the jagged jet skin
a wave of what I am
I give it all my oxygen
My pain, hope, rage
Happiness, sorrow, and love
Everything it is to live
I see the heat flash,
hear the crackle of your heart
then the heavy, steady beat
and the you I love returns
staring back at me once again
Let the flames begin.
