Ursula Rucker Miscellaneous 1 Million Ways To Burn I look upon you with eyes burnt from tears sear the meat of my heart with memories of your hot/cold words your dry ice words sticking stinging singing with vision blurred I watch our love go up in a frigid smoke guess I got to close I inhaled I choked slow burn, slow burn slow burn, slow burn slow burn, slow burn slow burn, slow burn Etched you name on my walls with the fire in your touch Our ardor once warmed like summer soldered bodies we swam in simmering sweat I melting metal softening glowing fiery orange like the sun bending You blacksmith branding At strangest times I feel the heat of the iron still slow burn, slow burn slow burn, slow burn slow burn, slow burn slow burn, slow burn Like smoldering coals now weaker but able to burn still 3rd degree 1st degree This hurt turns angry scalds like freshly boiled tea water spilled upon flesh making skin bubble then blister later to heal scarring still Etch my name on your wall with a caustic tongue hope at strangest times you feel the heat still slow burn, slow burn slow burn, slow burn slow burn, slow burn slow burn, slow burn Shall we leave our love at the stake within a fence of flames sacrificed on an altar of discontent sacrificed for no greater purpose on an altar of self for the purpose of self Will the rains come to douse or drown Will we rebuild from the ember and ash Or will nothing ever grow here on this burnt earth that was us slow burn, slow burn slow burn, slow burn slow burn, slow burn slow burn, slow burn Burn from passion or displeasure Burn slow burn One million ways to burn choose one One million ways to burn choose one choose one choose one choose one choose one |
