living in a world of pity,
the flames surround me, melting my skin,
molding me into a piece of art,
your very own candle.
keep me ablaze,
keep me in this land of fire,
even when i don't want to leave.
don't put me out,
turn me into your own personal fiery torch,
a candle that only flickers for you.
as my heart yearns for you,
blow out the flame and leave me in a cloud of smoke.
