It

By Kati Frazier

It aches inside me,

it twists and turns.

It bleeds within me,

it shatters, it burns.

And I fear

I won't survive it.

It blooms within me,

striking passion's core.

It warms throughout me,

I can feel my heart soar

And I fear

I will lose it.

I do not want to feel it,

and all the pain its caused

I've tried to be resilient.

Still, it makes my heart pause.

My heart may beat

out of my chest

afraid of what

I'll make it feel.

With more pain than hope,

through the darkness

I grope

for this joyous flame.

Flame warms my soul,

my heart still attempts retreat.

Only she remembers

it comes with pain and grief.

A simple touch

sends my heart aflame,

and rids me of

all thought.

It envelops me

in warmth, so safe.

I will never be alone.

Then quiet betrayal pangs

my heart's tender home.

I knew, I KNEW

This was how it would end.

I thought my ecstasy

would bring pain to an end.

But no . . .

Oh, the joy.

This is love.

Dear God, No

I am in love.

This is love.
