Fire and Thought

I wrap myself around you, forgetting
My invisible bruises
My racing heart
The terror of wanting
Screaming in silence

I feel you inside me, dreaming
Of delicate roses
Spaces without color
Spinning around myself
Abstracting away

I touch your skin briefly, wishing
That I had skin
That I was a person
That I could bleed
And pray for relief

I look at you, wanting
To be consumed
Like never before
And never again
In fire and thought
