What do you see when you look at me ?
Staring into my eyes as if you can right through to my soul .
I think you have already seen my brokenness and sensed my sadness , lurking beneath the half smiles and forced laughter .
I wonder why you don't edge away , leaving me alone like everybody else has .
Instead you warm up my heart .
burn little flame , burn .
You stroke my skin gently as if i'm made of glass , understanding that my fragility is part of who i've become .
suppressing the questions forming in your mind , patience being the steps leading to my thoughts .
Your fingers sending sparks down my spine , reaching the tips of my toes .
Flushed cheeks and a glimpse of a future with you , without ...
Wondering how such a mythical creature appears to be real , rescuing me from the dark deep pits filled with my own truth .
Weave into my soul and bring your fire to my light that has been suffocated by gale forces , invisible to you and i .
Burn little flame , burn .
But don't burn out .
