I want to melt your heart with words,

My only skill,

My fire.

I want you to crave me,

For a single line,

A turn of phrase,

Which sets your world alight.

When you lie alone tonight,

I want you to drip passion,

And burn inside,

Like the only lover who ever loved you died,

And you went to Heaven.

Then my words will be the waves,

Of a forgotten ocean,

And you will be my true lover,

My siren in the mist.
