Love me like fire in a house caving in,
A blaze that devours the walls within.
Love me like wounds that refuse to sleep,
Still open, still gasping, still cut too deep.
Etch your name on my breaking skin,
Not soft, not gentle—let the carving begin.
If you won’t love me ruthless, don’t even start;
I’d rather be ashes than half a heart.
Hold me like lightning that splits the sky,
A flash, a scream, a reason to try.
Hold me like a secret we’ll never tell,
Like the last confession at the gates of hell.
Cling to me, blood on your trembling hands,
Through the ache of scars no one understands.
Catch me when storms rip me apart,
Through wreckage, through ruin, through my failing heart.
Even if loving me tears you in two,
Bleed with me, burn with me—
I will still choose you.
To be loved even in destruction, and chosen anyway.
