The Poets Korner: Lighter

Lighter

I need a lighter to set my soul on fire 

Throw my bones upon the pyre 

And watch me slowly burn 

I have one desire 

To see you love me more 

To see you being drained 

Of everyone before 

To hear your deaf lips whisper 

Things only I can hear 

To have my fading shadow 

Be your only fear 

Lying in your arms 

No longer meant for me 

The safety of your touch 

Pretends to set me free.
