Consumed

I’ll burn the world attempting to 
Satisfy this heat
Watch the flames grow stronger now
Charring my frozen feet 
If I could but feel warmth inside
I could be complete 

Every day, I’ll feed the fire
Not letting it burn out
With tenderness or fury, for
Coldness comes with doubt
If I could tell the difference, well
Perhaps I could get out

Of all these cycles I have made
Always attempting to
Make my life, my self feel whole
Make the world feel true
To make the feelings stick this time
I’ll put them all on you

Every time, I convince myself
This is what I need
If I can’t feel enough love
Anger can be the feed 
And I’ll feel sorry tomorrow, but
For now I’ll watch you bleed

So I’ll consume eternity and
All that it may hold
Swallow the very earth and sea
The spoken and untold 
If I could but feel full inside
Then I won’t be cold
