Set Me On Fire

You pull me in
Your hands are hot
Your eyes are ablaze
You set me on fire

Tell me how I’m supposed to breathe
When the smell of you
Fills my lungs with smoke
Burning pleasure into capillaries

Breaking me
Breaking into me
You make me vulnerable
You make me me

Mold me with your soft fingers
Curling smoke around my body
Invading my senses 
But in the best way

I want to
Walk into your fire
I want to
Taste your embers

When your skin leaves mine
I smolder
Not destroyed
Reborn
