Fire Inside by Ing Twi Demalah

There is fire inside
and it’s burning so hot
and though it causes me pain
I can’t let it stop.

To bare it does burn me
and cause me to cry,
but without it I’m empty,
without it I’ll die.

How can I calm
this fire I feel,
can’t touch it or see it
but it’s flames are real.

These fiery flames,
are the hottest I’ve felt
my skin isn’t charred
but my heart still melts.

I tried cooling it, and covering it,
but nothing would do,
and the more that I fought it
the stronger it grew,

Oh how do I stop it,
burning by day and by night
it’s heat overtakes me,
and I’m loosing the fight.

It’s flames now consume me
and my heart starts to ache,
my chest becomes tighter
with every breath that I take.

I tried to run,
but found nowhere to hide
in the end I yielded,
to love, the fire inside

Love can be so strong that is feels as though it is burning us from the inside.
