"I sound like a cliche and smell like cheap alcohol. My hair is nearly always a mess and I feel awkward in my skin. I know what I want; it's getting it that confuses me sometimes" - NotJaneToday

Fill me up with flame and wood,
Pour over me gasoline,
Kiss me as if I'm an old wilted tree,
and let me explode.

I'm full of trees and full of earth,
You taste like magma,
Smell like honey,
Your mouth is hot with flame,
Let the ashes rain and let me burn,
Set the forest on fire.

Last night I dreamed of three,
Yourmouth yourtouch yourneed,
and when you breathed you set the forest on fire.
