Let it Burn

Warmth. A common desire.
One we seek in more ways than one
Something not found in just fire.
But close to what we feel from the sun

We find warmth in friends
In family
Love
Memories.

But what if
Just what if we lose it?
All of it
And it caught us by surprise?

Then it becomes cold
Everything begins to freeze.
And if it's not ice
It's stone.

You no longer care about being warm.
You just want to be rid of the cold.
Away from the winter bitterness
And away from the numbing stings.

Then it becomes hot.
Things become a white-hot sensation
And you don't even know it.
Your mind is ablaze with anger.

You're no longer cold
But you are no warm either.
It's hot, but here's the thing:
You don't care.
