of crystals and coal...

crystals of sealed hurt
fragmented along my veins
birthed from one lump of coal
where once resided a soul
pain compressed to the point of stone,
blackened beyond redemption
yet it burns
with a fire, slow, consuming me
awakened, in need
and my greatest fear
this fire will ignite...
you
