feed the fire

you don't fall in love like this every day 

you could burn it down once 

burn it to the ground 

and watch the smoke blow away

but let us consider 

the construction 

of the human 

heart

you can tear it apart

you can put it together

if you haven't dropped anything essential 

if you haven't lost anything in the dark

if you haven't put it back together all wrong

you feel it start ticking again

you feel your heart start ticking again

when I'm almost touching her skin

and all the soft hairs stand on end

when her eyes fill 

when her eyes fill 

so I look into pools

you feel it start ticking again

you feel your heart start ticking again

but let us consider 

the conflagration 

of emotion 

we call love

you could burn it down once 

most people burn it down once

then live their lives in the ashes

or walk away and set new fires

or you could feed the fire

you could feed this fire

feed the fire
