Frozen Flame Within

Deep inside lies a
flame
burning in ice
Unchanging

The ice does not
extinguish
or choke
the roaring fire

It merely freezes it
Suspended at the state
its in

The ice is melting
Letting the fire
Expand
Unstoppable

Now the fire has consumed me
But the fire is irresistible
I just cant have enough
of the Unfrozen Flame
that is killing me

So I embrace the flame
making it my friend
Maybe someday
I can escape
But I don’t want to

The fire has won
