Excuse for a Guilty Pleasure

Let yourself stare and wonder Move my hand to shame Open both eyes wide to blunder Rain and ice to smoke my flame And when I try to slip away Don’t leave me in my youth Just try to trust the strong don’t stray So freeze me in the truth But somehow you’ll find me sated Sheepish itches all been scratched You’ll wonder how I fed a fire When forbidden from a match Before you brand all my fingers with a gash Check your palms, they’re black with ash
