I wonder what you’re thinking,

What you’re feeling,

What you’re not saying.

I’m desperate to understand.

What sparks joy in you?

What’s makes you glimmer?

What’s makes you quiver?

What’s makes you flare?

You ignite waves in me –

A tsunami of thoughts and emotions.

I want to bathe in your warmth,

But fear I’ll extinguish your light.

Over your quiet flickering back and forth,

I fill all the air, and you’re suffocating.

I’m raining on your flames,

just trying to get closer to you.

I spill myself all over you,

hoping you’ll soak me up.

Instead I drown you, drench you;

Now you are burning out.

Sizzling,

Crackling,

Popping,

Smoking.

I poured my heart out,

I only wanted to fill you up.

Smothered by the depth of me,

Your passion is no longer ablaze.
