Lighters

I can't let anyone get close

They never knew what hit them

They never thought twice

When I opened my mouth

And acted all nice

Thick wax poured on my head

Their words melted in the hot air

I added a wick and gave them a Bic

Telling them to light, if they dared

Were surrounded by the heat

Our clothes burnt off

Bodies stuck together

Unaware of the trade-off

Hands and lips move in rhythm

Until our bodies shake

But then they stick around

And that was their mistake

The fire on my head starts to burn us both

My scars emerge without clothes to hide

I push them away, trying to save them

With new burns the fire was put out as I cried.
