Emotions Afire

Her anger erupted

Like a solar flare

The burning rays emanating

Indiscriminately but with purpose

She needed her pain to reach him

He could not read the message

But it penetrated his soul

And screamed of troubles she harbored

And the burdens she bear

For there were many

And she was only one

He tried to penetrate her layers

To uncover a love he knew waited

Like a Prince Charming

Paving an escape route

From the past she continued to endure

He only knew of feelings

That overflowed from within him

A love that had grown

Without boundaries, just pure emotion

From a heart that was starved for too long

We are never prepared

For the consequences of love

It teases us to do and say things
That hurt like in pin pricks

And in the midst of passion we struggle
