Kiss Me

Love me? Don’t touch,
unless you aren’t willing to let go;
Words can be so fickle and careless
they fly; 
But your hands, 
their scar always stays; 

Melting only to freeze 
as you come close to kiss me;

Stay at least a few inches away; 
I just can’t handle you tonight; 
Your fire bathed in candlelight 
plays havoc with all of my senses; 

Melting only to freeze 
as you come close to kiss me;

Rethink your strategy move a little bit slower; 
Scalding won’t feel like anything before;
The marks on your skin you’ll fancy more; 
So don’t be so hasty, 
Easy baby, crawl;

Melting only to freeze 
as you come close to kiss me.
