Ignite

I burn with the heat of unspoken words
You twist and turn and bathe in
The inferno of my breaking heart
We search back and forth for flint and timber
And dance our prayer to the invisile gods
Dance around the dying campfire of our love
The brushfire in my heart
Is drowned by the tears in your voice
Flames in your eyes, smouldered
Coals beneath my skin
The unlit match, the gasoline
The gunpowder line between you and me
I'm ready I'm waiting I'm aching to burn
Strike the match with your touch
Watch me explode with all that I feel
