*single book of matches gonna burn what's standing in the way* a lone flame might look like a pitiful part of an inferno that perhaps was, but never will be a l i v e. you can try to magnify warmth into heat using all sorts of transparent things - one - a glass, two - your face that can't hide what you think, three - the lone tear the dresses your cheek in the night; but let me know when you succeed at caressing cold embers into a living, breathing fire. *burned out flames should never re-ignite, but i thought you might* i hoped to the patron saint of hopelessness that you weren't beyond her saving grace. **** falling stars, i wished on burning planets to see if i could salvage the last light from their core to plant their fire in yours. i will never be your cornerstone
