Soul Fire

I see your crimson glow, baby. The warmth running through your veins put me on edge.

I’m not ready to fall, yet. I got some healing to do.

A journey to the past,

to accept my mistakes,

to understand my faults,

to embrace my insecurities and

imperfections.

I’m learning to love myself

and I have you to thank for that.

The fiery soul of yours rescued me from floating aimlessly in the blackness of the galaxy.

too cold, baby.

But your hands warmed up parts of me I thought were dead.

long dead.

Your soul fire embraced me from the inside out like a forest in a blaze

soothing

dangerous

exhilarating

You must be the daughter of Hephaestus, Greek God of Fire

Raining your firestorm down, filling my core to the brim.

it sinks

and it feels

like home.
