If I Was A Fire

If I was a fire, I would keep you warm

Till you don’t need to rub your arms

And stay with you through the cold night

And drive away your fears with my light

If I was a breeze on a hot summer day

To you, so carefully I would find my way

Yearning for so long and for so much

 I will cool you with my touch

But I am just a little boy with love to give

And sweet words that have helped me live

And I can only write a poem for you

And hope that you would love me too

My Skin Won’t Take The Flames Again

Rest your fears upon my shoulders

Of them, I will take care

Hesitation may be older

Than the love that we share

If your faith in me is shaken

And my words do not sound true

Let my soul and pride be taken

And lay them all unto you

Raise a fire to take my test

And let me pass through the flames

And if I were to come second best

Go ahead and erase the names

But do not put me through the test a second time

And have me repeat the pain

I may consider it a crime

My skin won’t take the flames again

The Darkest Hour

The night has covered the skies

In eternal deceptive disguise

The winds blow the leaves afar

Waiting for the darkest hour

Is there a familiar face

In this cruel and haunted place?

Have I left behind a trace

Of shallowness and disgrace?

Is there a way out

Of all the confusion and doubt?

Hear me scream and shout

When I don’t know what this is about

Should I let the dark frighten me?

Should I just let the nightmares be?

It may be hard now for me to see

But I know the light will set me free

Waiting for the darkest hour

To come and reveal who we are

If the truth has flown too far

I’ll bring it back and let it scar
