She Set Fire To Your Soul
But she set fire to your soul
with just one touch,
making all the hesitant pieces of you tremor
under her fingertips.
But she set fire to your soul
with just one touch,
making all the hesitant pieces of you tremor
under her fingertips.
She was the calm to your wild,
the careful to your chaos.
We face death and heartache and abuse and loss and self-hatred and anxiety and fear and frustration, and yet, from all of that pain, we rise.
I’ve been falling for the reminders, falling for the parts that feel familiar in the embrace of someone new. But I don’t want that anymore.
Do you still remember
what you said—
always—
written in each kiss?
Today does not only signify success; today also is a reminder that each of us – every color and race and sexual identity and faith and stance – must continue to fight.
Boredom is replaced with purpose.
You feel emotion deeply.
Maybe I cannot save you, but I will love you. I will love you with everything I have—my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my body, my strength, my soul.
Promise that you’ll seek happiness, and be happiness.
