Combustion

I drift through this world
unanchored, unbound
No life in my breast
No home to be found

 

You bridge that distance
You break down that wall
You gather me in
and answer my call

 

But there's still something between us
some separation unseen
I sputter and flicker
You sparkle and gleam

 

If I touched your fire
it's you who'd be burned
so I reign in my hand
against all that I've yearned

 

This affection we've kindled
will more than suffice
for I won't risk your flame
just to banish my ice
