I burn too bright for my own good
fuel my own fire
scar my own skin
my body ignites and blazes away
the outer shell
I am more than what I have been
I have walked through hell.
I am the might; and I burn thin
through what's good for me
and I am charred, at the end of the day
but even charcoal ignites again.
I cannot,
Soar through the air,
And fly freely,
Across the thermal,
Winds.

My outstretched hands
Cannot delve into,
The rain clouds,
And disperse,
The ever growing,
Fractals of grey.

Water droplets,
Causing my skin,
To concave.
Leaving me limp,
Exceedingly fragile.
My bones,
Crumbling under,
The pressure.

It's as if,
I am your paper plane,
Left lying,
In the murky,
Puddle water.

*Daunghting realms,
Of forgetful delight,
Causing me,
Too all but,
disintegrate.
Time and space know no bounds.
I float passively through the black,
sightless and without sounds.

Shimmers and twinkles dot the night.
Waiting patiently for love's arrival,
I'll know for it will feel complete, right.

As Mars passed me by,
in all that silent darkness,
I saw your green eye.

Time and space knew no bounds.
We danced, frozen through the black,
sightless and without sounds.

For me, for you, this must be true.
To live, to die, to dance, to cry,
for me, for you, I'll say...
