Burrrrrr
This cold weather has got me thinking that
I don’t see you as much as I used to
Which is a shame because I’ve got
Hugs that resemble wool coats and the kiss
Of a fireplace across your face
I’m warm

People often say I don’t show much compassion
Towards the opposite *** and
That’s because I’m saving it all for you
Like a child learning the value of a dollar
Constantly saving up to better my future
Until I meet you
I’ll spend it all on lollipops, teddy bears and
Others things of that nature to make you stay around longer

Striking a match inside my organs that winter when
My tongue froze to a light post and you were the only one who didn’t laugh at me
It seemed logical at the time
It felt like you gave me this fire
And I could conquer abnormal tasks simply by having the idea of you
Linger at the end of everything I touch
This is called “feeling” you told me
Snow drops like days

I was born with a ribcage that resembles wooden logs
With the fire you put in my belly………..
I’m starting to get concerned so,

I need to see you soon
Before my ribcage is ablaze
Before my body is 20% smoke 80% fire and 100% your first name
Girl, I’m about ready to spontaneously combust
So make these miles feel like seconds
I need to show you how close spring is
And what summer
Feels like

burrrr

Burn Baby, Burn!
Like my soul for her.
Burn Baby, Burn!
As if you were saying “burrr.”

Burn Baby, Burn!
Cast a fire unto me.
Burn Baby, Burn!
Let the world see,

Burn Baby, Burn!
Our passion for the heat.
Burn Baby, Burn!
Let the smoke be our mete.

Burn Baby, Burn!
Don’t cross over that line.
Burn Baby, Burn!*
Reach for the flames so divine.
