You are bonfire smoke
Clinging to my favorite clothes
Washed my hair 30 times
Felt your hair in my fingers
Every single time

And when I look in the mirror
I wear your smile
This glow in my eyes
Is reflecting off your skin

If I pricked my finger
It'd be your blood
You're coarsing rapidly
Through my veins
*I need a transfusion to escape
I am branded by you
We are covered by the dark
Blanketed by the milky way
Moonlight kisses your skin
I wish it were my lips

Between us are a row of strings
Begging to be plucked
We'd make a symphony
Soothe the city to sleep
Instead they draw you closer to me

Drawn to you
Stars to the midnight sky
A musician to a new instrument
Can't help but wonder
*What does it take to make you sing?
I'll stay guessing
The space on the nape of your neck
Was pre-designed for my head

I could evaporate into it
Play hide and seek
Between your collar bones

Peek from behind your lips
Tie your tongue with my fingertips

I want to be swallowed
Darkness cast away by your glow
Want to become
The spark in your bones
Spark lust love fresh new unknown

— The End —
