Ignite it.

Even if it is unhealthy,

With great risks too,

I still want it.

Let me be consumed by you.

Let's set me ablaze.

Watch my walls burn down.

Let's open me up.

Please stake whatever's found.

Enter my world;

Change it for good.

Make your presence felt

Like no one before you could.

I'll adore your every impression

On my mind,

Heart,

Being.

I will barter dependence

For the liberty of needing

You.
