Your lips—they taste of
broken dreams and broken constellations,
of fiery passion and flaming desire.
As the ashes settle and the embers—
in all their sunburst-coloured glory—
scatter unevenly, I wish to find firewood;
to add fuel to your dying fire,
to bring you back to life.

Your lips—they taste of
broken dreams and broken constellations,
of fiery passion and flaming desire.
As the ashes settle and the embers—
in all their sunburst-coloured glory—
scatter unevenly, I wish to find firewood;
to add fuel to your dying fire,
to bring you back to life.
