Wax Hearts

Yours Melted, Mine Hard

The flame was there but then I touched it with wet hands

I couldn’t care, my shield wouldn’t bend

It’s not fair to you that our wax hearts can’t mend

Yet I still melt in to you like they can

I’m sorry if I offended you

I really only meant to brighten your future through

Being someone who would take dares for you

Fight fires to prove

That I’m worthy of your light

You’ve shown me what my darkness really is

You hold me, and everything just makes sense

I can’t control my greed, I need your essence on me

I need to feel your body

And just like that

I dim

We get to talking

I swim

My melted wax hardening around my heart

Away I go, my soul apart

Left with numbness only the feeling of you can burn

I’m no good for you babe, you have a lot to learn

You are the flame in the California fires

I am the rain that settled you down

The heat I created in you destroys you

So I guess I’ll just go away now

I want nothing more than to be your lighter

But I’m not the match you see

So I guess I’ll blow you out, before you scold even more than me
