My heart burns uncontrollably. 

I am fiercely passionate. 

I love hard.

I obsess.

The fire has permanently taken it's abode in the quarters of my heart.

I try to explain it but I can't find the words. 

Sometimes I look for myself and I don't find me. All I find is this thing, this fire.

It brings so many emotions but it is in itself, not an emotion. It's a flame.

It brings joy. But a weird kind. A joy so intense it pierces, almost hurts.

Sometimes it brings unhappiness, an inexplicable type, because I'm lost in its blaze so I can't do the things I want, all I do is follow the direction of the blaze.

And yet it brings fulfilment. Contentment. Gladness. All in huge doses.

I can't feel a little of anything.

Its adrenaline rush is a lot more intense than that of flying. 

A kind of high that all the drugs in this world, put together, would not be able to achieve.

This love thing was never an emotion. It's a force. The greatest force.

It is defiant or gravity, takes no notice of electromagnetism and is downright disrespectful to friction.

I don't recall when exactly it got a hold of me, but I remember that because of it, I was a strange child, never like the other kids. 

I couldn't play, I was learning to be alive, I was teaching my heart to be strong, and training myself to be resilient. 

I couldn't give in, still can't. 

I believe. 

I hope.

I help.

I conceal dirt.

I build. Even without bricks, I still build.

I protect. Even at my own expense, I still protect.

I love. Even when it hurts, I still love.

Passion overtook me.

Zeal consumed me.

The fire found a home in me.

I love not my life

So I'm not afraid to die. 

I don't have a life

So you can't scare me with death. 

I ceased to exist when this thing took a hold of me.

Am I gonna tell you how I feel?

No!!!

I don't know how I feel. I don't know how to feel.

I'm on fire.

Unquenchable fire
