The Hot Stove

[Diggitydave]

I don't get it, it's hot, and it burns,

Why do i keep touching it

 

Each thought is a touch, and it hurts

Why do I keep thinking it

 

I feel like I have to touch it and think it

Am I a masochist?

 

I wonder if I think the stove will get cooler

It never does, so why must i keep touching it?

 

I wonder if my thoughts won't hurt

They always do, so why do i keep thinking them?

 

I know better with snow, don't stand in it too long

How do i know better with cold?

 

The hot stove is still hot, my though still hurts

Can i pretend they're snow?

 

I put all of me into that stove

I'm afraid to let go of it.

 

Are you holding on to pain?

At least when you touch it you know what to expect right?
