Literature Text

Shouldn't do this
Stay awake
Think of your lips
And how they'd feel
Against mine

Pace for hours
Tell myself
I shouldn't bother
But I bet those lips
taste divine

Like embers and secrets
Like nothing can stop it

I'm tying knots
Around my heart
I am trying
So hard
To keep myself distracted
You give a smile
Like you know
You're burning right
Through my ropes
You kiss me through the ashes

No good reason
Close my eyes
Imagine your skin
Daydream your body
In my arms

I fight the feeling
Know it's only
Self-defeating
But I bet that
You feel so warm

Like fire and brimstone
Like nothing that I've known

I'm tying knots
Around my heart
I am trying
So hard
To keep myself distracted
You give a smile
Like you know
You're burning right
Through my ropes
You kiss me through the ashes

Like passion and lanterns
Like nothing else matters

Like steel and lightning
Like everything I need

I'm tying knots
Around my heart
I am trying
So hard
To keep myself distracted
You give a smile
Like you know
You're burning right
Through my ropes
You kiss me through the ashes
Was going through the old music bin and dug this one up from back in 2009. I'm surprised I never submitted it--but on the other hand I'm pretty glad I didn't because it was in serious need of redoing the recording.

So now I can declare it officially done :D It's from the Sokkla Summer prompt, "burning".
