[bodytext] => “in case of fire”, the words begin as the sun sets down and you’re settling in next to someone who’s trying to stoke a spark near the kindling, in the dark corners of your soul and it starts like a coal that keeps you warm through the nights you contain it and hold it tight. you use it to guide you while you’re lost in the woods and it shows and you glow as you light embers in the your wake as if every step you take would ignite a sun given the chance, and the thought of them is just like a slow dance to your favorite song. but before long you let this flame out of sight and try as you might to keep yourself safe, the inevitable inferno eats and eats and eats and burns. and you’re wary of what kind of disaster is in store, the scary things are the words that come more and more you shudder to think what you would actually feel, if something real came to fill as you agree to this quest. but caution always seemed best. to avoid feeling spurned and to not pursue you feel safer cold, than burned. and so it goes, back to the start: “in case of fire: break heart” [comments] => 3 [counter] => 167 [topic] => 75 [informant] => GloomyBlu [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => anguished )
