Favorite Quote:
What though the radiance which
was once so bright
be now for ever taken from my
sight.
Though nothing can bring back the hour
of splendor in the grass, of glory in
the flower,
we will grieve not, rather find
strength in what remains behind.
- William Wordsworth


Walk with me 

Or are you afraid?

Some may say I look like danger it self 

That I hold an essence of fear 

Maybe it’s because I walk with terror on my shoulders 

Or maybe it’s because my best friend is 

Pain 

 


Call me fire,

The only thing more powerful than me is water 

You can wash out all my sins

But the fire escapes and runs to its next victim 

Watch out 

Beware 

You could become the next threat 

 


And fire only falls on the damned 

The troubled and lonely 

So listen when I say hide in a cave and conceal all your deepest and darkest secrets

 


Don’t let desire and lust catch up to you

Because once you are caught 

Corruption will take you over 

And scorpions shall feed on your mind. 

 


Then that’s when fire catches up with you. 


The author's comments:

Many novels and plays always image desire as a type of weapon. For example the most famous piece of literature about desire, A Streetcar Named Desire. 

Desire can be pictured like fire, it burns and it’s hot and fiery. Almost sinful, the only thing that can stop fire is water just like holy water cleansing you of your sins.
