combative kindling, lips flicker blue
eyes and embers reveal the same
I've destroyed entire forests for you
since the first time you set me aflame
please don't touch me
I can't take your heat
will you have me
I'm skipping beats
our breath together is melodic
I time to the rhythm of your skin
your fingertips burn portraits on my flesh
you engulf me over and over again
