Tiny Prize Fighter

Tiny Prize Fighter

In my human frame

From seas I rise

Spirit soaring

Starry Skies

Don't think I am

Too small for this

I'll span the Universe

I won't miss

I'll walk through flame

And shoulder the blame

You know it's true,

Don't you? 

Blue eyes cold, 

Bought and sold

Build a fire

And

Flames withhold

Wood burns

Ashes churn

Falling into you

I'll sink down in

To your soul

Just me 

and 

Cole

Under your skin

So,

let me in.

Open your door

Mine-forevermore

Daddy long-legs

Under my spell

Where I wait 

And 

Keep you

Keep You

Keep you

Very well

In this hell

You try to sell

How much does it cost

To regain everything, once lost? 

I would love to know.

Bougie Trash 

And melted snow.
