Woman of Fire

R.E.M.A.-D. Penname debut

By christian rodriguezPublished 6 years ago 2 min read

two sides to the flame.

different but the same.

wild or tame,

free or in chains,

proud or shame,

no matter what you claim, you can't douse the flame.

It's burning me, an urgency burning in me

eternally, fueled infernally, feeling like superman currently.

Like I have all the currency and infinite energy.

When I'm with her I'll commit any crime or felony.

A reward, for the gift given to me, fast forward

to me today, left without words to say.

A flame was drilled and instilled into me.

So a goal I wish to fulfill, to make her smile endlessly

and to do this solely, I'll shovel elephant shit!

If it means I'll show you I'll never quit or act inadequate!

I'll face the hardest of hard knocks!

If it means I can buy you the shiniest of rocks!

Work hours upon hours on the clock,

so we can have the most tranquil walks and talks.

Fold my back in half, let the destruction come

I'll stay with you after the aftermath!

Come the clash! I'll be brash! Faster than the flash!

To pass the past with a blast till dust turns to ash.

You need anything, just ask, I just pray that we last,

I just pray that I'm your last, I just pray that I don't come in last.

I just pray that God doesn't take his descendant that was heaven sent.

Two sides to the flame.

Different but the same.

wild or tame,

free or in chains,

proud or shame,

no matter what you claim, you can't douse the flame.

It's burning me, a disease, burning in me,

infinitely, indecently, indiscreetly killing me.

show me something! Something other than a stone face!

I know, I know I'm a disgrace, I'm last place in the human race!

I should run faster for the chase, I got a horrible face,

baby please, don't leave with ease, I'm a plague, a cancer, a disease!

how come when we take pictures you don't say cheese?

Anymore, no more smiles, hollow to the core,

is there someone else? We can work this out,

just tell me what this is about, please?

don't tease, me can't you see? That I -

don't walk away, I am beginning to decay

and you can't even stay, in the same room with me.

How is it so easy? To ignore me, deplore me, carnivore me

you're eating me alive!

How do I survive?! Without my heart

no I don't want to restart! with someone else

I want you and only you, you can still renew

these feelings, you still have so much meaning.

I'll be here, if you ever have something to say,

I'll hear and wait everyday, until I'm old and gray.

Two sides of the same coin, two flowers in the process of growin', two flames in the world not knowing where they're going.

Soaring or falling, swimming or sinking, roaring or calling, what are you thinking?

Hot to my cold, young to my old, you've already been told.

Soaring or falling swimming or sinking, roaring or calling, what are you thinking? Hot to my cold, young to my old, you've already been told.

two sides to the flame.

Different but the same.

wild or tame,

free or in chains,

proud or shame,

sane or insane,

no matter what you claim, you can't douse the flame....
