Your name falling from my lips
like a prayer, I chant it, my eyelids
droop shut and I see you,
I see your smile, like a majestic sunrise,
it lights up my soul. Tears of joy,
of longing, of wonder flowing like
a thousand rivers from my eyes,
I reach out, brush my fingers
against your skin. Pain mingles with pleasure,
they play their duet in my blood;
Suddenly I find, I’m flying,
I soar up in the skies and I dare
I dare to brush my lips against yours
And I know what it feels like to swallow fire,
I feel your heat scorching me, I burn,
Burn, burn from within and it’s such
an agony, but oh so exquisite.
I drown, drown, drown deep in you,
I fall in ashes from the sky.
Your flames never stop licking at me,
I know, I know sweetheart, you were the Flame
and drawn to you, I was the Moth and ours was
a love that was beautiful, that was fatal
but in my aching heart I know, I know
it was worth it all.
