I could drown in you 

Or more accurately 

I could burn up from being so close 

Close to your brilliance 

Because you my dear 

You shine 

Oh how you shine 


I want you 

So badly that I wouldn't mind burning to a crisp 

If it meant you were there 

Kissing every burn away 


Like icarus i would fly so close 

To you 

My sun 

I want you to kiss every inch of my skin 

Until I am burning like a furnace 

My mother would shun me for loving the supernova that you are 

But I won't hear their comments 

For icarus may not have been a fool 

But one who was not afraid to seek what he wanted without hesitation 

For if it is truly a sin to love you 

Then let me burn in hell 

For I will tell the other I saw and held heaven before I ever died
