What Lies Beneath.

 Nothing compares
to the feeling that i had
when i heard the news.
An instantaneous ignition;
A spontaneous combustion.

As i picture skin on skin
his hands tracing her body
(the body that i fell in love with)
with lustful intent
and non-emotional connection,
the small flame

Explodes.

Into something bigger
something stronger
and more
dangerous.
Jealousy only stokes the fire
and the burning wreckage
in my chest
cannot be stopped now.
Unintentional
but unstoppable.
Irrational
but irreversible.

I carry the weight of the world
on my shoulders
today.
The name is Atlas
and i am normally a Titan.
But i have been
reduced
to an unimportant little speck.

But!
Said speck has a weapon;
Never underestimate fire
that has been lit by
past love.
As much as i would love to use
this fire
i will restrain my emotions
and only let it simmer
beneath.
the.
surface.

Hiding
but watching.
Elusive
but conclusive.

I am Atlas.
