Firelight

The fire inside me
burns out by day
but you've got the lighter-
the match that won't decay

It's in you
and you put it in me
I can't say I'm upset-
but I'm mostly unhappy

I can't stray from the light
while most of it is mine
So of course you kindle it-
you're just giving it more time

Stop feeding my fire
and put down the torch in your hand
It's too much for my liking-
but without it I can't stand

I'm not sure why you saw the spark
or why you liked its glare
For you burned it down strong-
you lit it up with care
