Bonfire

I won’t lie my darling

I don’t want to save you

I only want to hold you

I want to look so deeply under your skin

Peel back all the layers

To the soft centre within

Watching the stars collide

In your eyes

 

Its too late to pretend now darling

That I want to play it cool

When this kind of fire is burning

Deep within

For too long I lived inside a separate skin

That could not feel or touch anything

Without fear of breaking

 

So now

No matter what the cost

I’m going to open my heart

And surrender to this passion

That wants to burst forward like a river

Seeking its source

And even if all is lost

Or whether or not we come to pass

At least I will have found a way

To surrender this skin

Saying yes to the passion

Raging within

Like a bonfire
