Crucible of Love

From the scorched earth
of my heart
   Melting memories impart
flashburns on my jelly eyes
radiation from your lies

   In your crucible of flame
I am sick and sometimes sane
   Super Novas in the snow
beaten gold your hearts' aglow
Melting all that's left to say
   Golden god with feet of clay

   If you don't unblind me soon
I won't even be the moon
Reflecting everything you are 
blinding light, erupting star

   Illuminate! send up your flare!
find a dark soul who will care
   I need a candle, just a glimmer
Please come back when you are dimmer
