It isn't the fuel I lack, My heart rests at the spilling point. I look not for kindled wood to keep me lit, But for the Kinder voice that would yield the appropriate heat. I am as cold as butane alone, I burn for a companion. Sparks are as cheap as thrills, The wholesome whisper of the promised ignition teases the flint in my pockets. I yet burn for another temporarily. Yearning for the forever, while bursting over every one, ever. Peasant pleasantries persist painfully, Pouring through my pursed lips I stray a plenty. For every fragrance carriers more then a scent, They collaborate together, a massive cyst in my mind. I cannot overlook the Siren's smell. Rather I take note and dwell. Dwelling in the dark, looking down, I drink. Water that rushes through the world comes to rest in my glass, as I contemplate the transparencies of my affection.

Unlit Butane
It isn't the fuel I lack, My heart rests at the spilling point. I look not for kindled wood to keep me lit, But for the Kinder voice that would yield the appropriate heat. I am as cold as butane alone, I burn for a companion. Sparks are as cheap as thrills, The wholesome whisper of the promised ignition teases the flint in my pockets. I yet burn for another temporarily. Yearning for the forever, while bursting over every one, ever. Peasant pleasantries persist painfully, Pouring through my pursed lips I stray a plenty. For every fragrance carriers more then a scent, They collaborate together, a massive cyst in my mind. I cannot overlook the Siren's smell. Rather I take note and dwell. Dwelling in the dark, looking down, I drink. Water that rushes through the world comes to rest in my glass, as I contemplate the transparencies of my affection.
