Give me light
that the poppy receives
Give me Rain
to quench my thirst
As I hunger and thirst
for you
I sit here and ask when you’ll return
Slowly,
My skin cracks and my heart aches
As my bones protrude,
I’ve begun to wither into a corpse
of ruin and sallow skin
I want you;
Your rays, Your light.
Burn me until my skin detests —
Screaming
for all you give
Give me all
I hope to receive

Give me light
that the poppy receives
Give me Rain
to quench my thirst
As I hunger and thirst
for you
I sit here and ask when you’ll return
Slowly,
My skin cracks and my heart aches
As my bones protrude,
I’ve begun to wither into a corpse
of ruin and sallow skin
I want you;
Your rays, Your light.
Burn me until my skin detests —
Screaming
for all you give
Give me all
I hope to receive
