You set me on fire cause you like to watch things burn.

yet you were born in January a cold month of snowflakes upon your baby blanket.

so as I burned from my ears to my feet,

you watched with icicles running down your cheeks.

I knew you wanted to feel the heat but held back,

in awe that I wouldn't put up a fight,

I knew the unspoken words of the night, my plight, my right, so I burned.

icicles becoming raindrops, kindling among my flame and your snow.
