Small coal

At first it was just a spark

A sting in your back

Or your wrist

A reminder

Now you are burried in fire

You failed to conceal that spark

Your body in a volcano

Lava leaking on your shoulders

After you tried so hard to burry yourself

Into ice

Into the coldness

Down into the winter where you didn't belong

Now you have to face this battlefield

That you were running away from so long

It burns

Everywhere

There's no escape

You can't move

You are turning into burning stone

You're lost at the heart of the earth

That small red coal you didn't want to mind

Has consumed you

Your skin is in flames

And as you try to reach a hand to touch the water

It vanished.

You're left alone with the fire.

All you've got left are those empty eyes

Looking for a soothing you won't get.

At first it was just a spark

But they let you turn into a volcano.
