Under My Skin

her warmth seeping in
still I fight
what's changing me
wrapped up 
in something 
more 
than birds singing
sun rising
fresh morning
and being free to 
blast away
in a blaze of glory
yet I trickle
down her cheek
one tear drop 
in an endless sea
softly slowly silently
a subtle sigh in the night
I don't want to tie down 
what I don't want 
tying me down
but I will
liberate what
sets me free
I know
damn, I know
I'm melting
fire is creeping  in
somehow I let her
under my skin
