Slow Burn
de Janani K. Jha
I used to think that love was like the stories
A princess feeling lonely
Trapped inside a tower
So desperate that she put herself in danger
Made saviors out of strangers
And gave 'em all the power
But then you made me wonder
Where's the horse? Where's the armor?
Tell me, how come there's no dragons in these halls?
I thought I had to die for you to love me
Thought that peace could only come from war
Thought I had to break down to be found
That it could only work if it hurts
Thought I had to set myself on fire
If I ever wanted to be warm
But you give me a slow burn
So used to leaving teardrops on the pages
Watching battles rage and
Writing it all off
Well, you're touching me and suddenly it's easy
I'm not even bleeding
But I believe it all
Can I speak with the author?
Where's the climax of this novel?
Tell me, how come there's no crisis love can solve?
I thought I had to die for you to love me
Thought that peace could only come from war
Thought I had to break down to be found
That it could only work if it hurts
Thought I had to set myself on fire
If I ever wanted to be warm
But you give me a slow burn
I look at you and I can feel the heat
It spreads right through my skin
But I don't fan the flames and I don't freeze
I just let it in
We can lay our weapons down and still have everything
I don't have to die for you to love me
I don't ever have to go to war
I don't need to break down, you still found me
Without any smoke leading you to my door
I don't have to set myself on fire
I don't need to hurt to feel your warmth
'Cause you give me a slow burn
