sunlight glows on my skin
a beautiful sheet of gold
doesn’t shield, but enhances
coffee is cold but your light is warm
these days are old but your delight is a storm
beautiful, but dangerous
dangerous because I let you in
dangerous if I let you win
the battle with my heart and myself
you’re a candle in a blackout
a fire in the cold
I’m selfish and thoughtless
selfish for you
instead I drink my coffee
I’m too bad for you
because after all, sunlight and rose thorns don’t mix
