I am a ball of fire

I am bursting

I am seething

I am a heat stroke ready to hit

.

I will not love you as you need me to

I will burn you to the ground

You will enjoy it

Desert sand turned into glass

Lighting booming over a wooden roof

Comforting danger

Trusting probabilities you do not know

Sheets of rain deafening all other sound around you

I will split you

set you on fire from the inside / as you did me

I will end you / r story that softens me to be palatable

I am not meant to be palatable

I am not presentable

I am stunning

I am everything you wish I wasn’t

.

Taste me once to burn yourself

Delight in your singed mouth
