Hot Mess

When I say someone is, 
when I say I feel like 
a "hot mess" 
I do not mean attractive 
and a bit disheveled, 

I mean they are the smoldering remains 
of what was once a warm hearth that ran too hot 
and was destroyed by its own glorious passion, 

I mean if you have any flammable parts you should not stand too close 
or you may ignite.


However I think, 
with the right amount of heat, 
and the right amount of patience, 
any mess can be restored.
