how can something seem so wrong
yet feel just right
can lead you, string you along
how can it completely change your mind

he did that to me
the way he smiles
he has my knees weak
makes life feel a little more worthwhile

i caved into his touch
fell into his open arms
hoping that was enough
for my fragile & open heart

he reminds me what it's like
to remember my favorite dreams
bringing my deepest thoughts to life
he makes me feel free

ready
set
don't go
no, I can't lose you yet

I know the fires of the sun
Every ray of light life giving
Destroys a little more
A spark for you would devastate my city

Why does passion burn intensely?
That my heart would turn to ash
Its not what I intend
That my heart becomes the coal

Fire
Fire brings warmth
Fire eviscerates
I guess its just my fate
To be only smoke and memory
As the better parts of me
Burn away

I know the fires of the sun
And the bottom of the ocean
Both are fools to gravities charms
The weight you give me

Why does passion reach so fully?
That there is no skin I know
That isn't marked
By your tattooed name

Fire
My soul and heart on fire
Fire is the name I love
I'll burn as willing tinder
To shed light upon your dreams
I only hope you love me
As a dream that will never be

a mind after midnight is a scary thing
that undiscovered country of thoughts
throughout your brain & running in your veins
pulsing, begging to be acknowledged
but you feel your heart beat faintly
and it meets the pace of your steadfast brain
slowly synching into sleep
hoping to forget everything
the next morning

you are your heart
you are the art you hang on your walls
you are your 2pm thoughts and your 2am sulks
you are the whole and you are the parts
you are your heart,
beating-
reminding you
what it means
to be and to breathe

tonight I hope you'll join me
play with my hair as we sleep
softly and you breathe deeply,
blowing innocent wind
onto my bare skin

wrap your arms around my armored heart-
hold tight

tonight I hope you'll stay with me
and remind me
why this love
takes time
