the burn

2.19.2012

be careful what you wish for,
i warned myself.
i asked for this.
i wanted fire.
i needed it.
the heat.
it feels so good.
the kind of heat that warms you from the inside.
manifests in the chest.
and builds.
beautifully.
incinerating whats left of the walls I tried to keep up.
leaving me wide open.
vulnerable.
thats when it happens.
once youre raw and the heat keeps building,
thats when you can feel the burn.
and it hurts.

“But it’s hard to stay mad when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once and it’s too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst. And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life.” — American Beauty
