Flame*
by Farawayayes

sweet flickering flame
that lites up my room
tell me my fortune

create me an illusion
let it come out from the dark corners
let it dance before me
and be as beautiful as you

sweet flickering flame
I tend to your every whim
I procure and protect you

grant me just one last thing
let me merge
within your fire
so I may be as beautiful as you
