I love you

But we are a broken hammer:

All shims and splints, and full of good intentions

I set fires

I set fires

I fill the sky with light

I set fires

We talk in the heat

Like a dry summer creek

Filled with last winter's leaves

A silence of nettles

Old growth, and underbrush

And the pitch pine bark

Hides a turpentine heart

I knew this day would come

Eye to eye in the heat

Mouth in haste, roots embracе

Does sapling or wasteland this caress of kindling makе?

We dreamt of rain for this place

For new growth to heal our mistakes

I love you still, but we both know the rains have left us

Sunbleached limbs and hollow hearts

Our lives our heavy with fuel

Skin on skin feels like flint, like lightning, like wind

I love you, but we are a forest in waiting

I set fires

I set fires

I fill the sky with light

I set fires

I set fires. I set fires

Broken branches piled high

I burn the Winter from our lives

Without flames the forest dies

I set fires

I set fires

I set fires

I fill the sky with light

I set fires
