Those walls,
You know, the ones everyone talks about?
They're breaking.
They're breaking for a thousand reasons,
And every single one
Is your fault.

You're so untainted.
So innocent, so free of heartbreak
That it breaks my heart just to look at you.
I want to build my walls big enough for us both,
But you'll have none of it.

As fragile as the paper flower
That lays by my bed,
I am the fire that could destroy you.

And when you throw yourself,
Oh so trusting at my feet,
I don't know whether to envy your courage
Or laugh at your naivety.

All I know is I want.
Want you to take my breath away,
Tame me enough to touch.
Want you to come too close,
So we can burn together.
