Flames
You're stranded
You are alone
You are lost without the one you want
Yet you know that I am what you need
It's damp
Is it the tropic climate
Or is it your eyes pouring from the pain
You know that I can dry it up
It's cold
Is it the breeze rolling off the ocean
Or is it your heart from what it's been through
You know your love is lost, but I am here
Just a spark
You mistake me as just a spark
You think I'm useless
But you know that I would ignite myself to keep you warm
What was that
Your eyes wander through the shadows
Your ears lift at eerie sounds of beasts
You know that I can bring you light
Timid crackling, soft popping
Yellow turns orange, turns red and then blue
Joyfully dancing in the islands breeze
You know that I can provide for you
The longing for your loved one burns
Flames of lust burn stronger than any flames of sun
Flames of my destructiveness bring peace
A desire for me burns inside of you
Your sadness grows, but so do I
Whipping and whirling fiercely
Surrounding you with wild flame
You know there is hope, but you indulge yourself in me
You are burnt by your own passion,
My overtaking flames turn love to ashes
I was meant to provide and protect you
Without love, you chose to be consumed by my playful flame
