You breathed, the smoke of your soul, into my unburnt lungs

2. I could not help but notice the contrast of my moon pale skin, against the dark of the midnight green grass.

3. As my barefoot feet, carried my caged and broken heart, to the dying embers of fire, burning within you.

4. I know not why it burns so close to this earth, or so near to my heart. Is it because you cannot bear to awaken the night sky?

5.With so much smoke it would burn, you could not sustain it.

6. Either way it is intriguing and beautiful to watch, with my midnight blue eyes.

7. I kissed your cooling embers back to life. I did not expect the charcoal on your lips, to thrive in my lungs, and burn in my eyes.

8. Yet I would not have it any other way. No reason to stop, and every to continue.

9. Burns, burn. Scars, fade. But your fire it eternal.

10. Safe it would be, to turn back. Yet I chose to walk the coals. To leave my mark in freshly fallen snow. To hold you close, and never let go.

11. I would press my heart into your hands, for you to warm it. We could own the night, and walk the moon.

12.Every sunrise coming much to soon. Yet we wait, for the light to break over the horizon.

13. I thought you would always be mine forever, but who was I to think I could take the flame, the heat, and the fire. The fire, that thrives between the layers of your dark skin.

14. Like melting wax and burning paper we danced. So bright, to soon, never strong enough to last.

15. As skinny as the ink coating these pages, paper to cover in sketches, stars, and still wet tears.

16. Twenty six sheets of life to live between. On bed and books you leave your burns.

17. Forever you burn.

18.I wanna rock it all night. Smoke child. Will you rock it out with me?

19. I beg you to speak! And fill me with your storms!

20. Raise me up, as high as your flames.

21. We dance, we light everything within reach, I'd be crazy if I didn't burn for you.

22.Am I enough to kindle, against your dark flame? To make you want to burn brighter.

23. Who are we? To challenge the light of the sun.

24.To rise in the night and never fade to black. To kiss the never look back. To run forever and never lose track.

25. Scorched by trial and charred by sweet lies.

26. I want to know would it burn as much.

27. If I saw the sparks in your eyes.

28. Skate the world

29. Hand in hand.

30. Dance in flame, like we planned.
