I AM A VOLCANO

TOOK MY DARKNESS TO A LAND BEYOND,

RIGHT WHERE I LEFT THE DAWN;

SAT UNDER THE STAR ABOVE THE PALM TREE,

DROWNED THE SKY TO BE FREE.

WHEN ASKED FOR SHELLS,

I BROUGHT THEM PEARLS;

WHEN ASKED FOR STONES,

I GIFTED THEM A BOULDER:

IF YOUR SMILE,

IS MY SMILE;

AREN'T MY CRIES,

YOUR CRIES?

MY GAME IS POISONOUS;

IT'S A DECEIT, 

MY DECENCY:

SCREAMED THEIR PRICE,

IT'S HEAVENLY,

THEIR IMPURITY.

SO I'LL BE THAT STAR FOR YOU;

ALONE,

BURNING IN THAT DARK:

YOU HAVE YOUR DAY AND NIGHT;

I'LL KEEP WHAT'S MINE:

YOU HAVE THAT PARADISE;

I'LL KEEP THE RUINOUS CITE:

BECAUSE NOW,

MY HEART WON'T STOP AFTER SEEING YOUR NAME;

THESE EYES WON'T LOOK FOR YOU AFTER READING YOUR NAME:

THERE WILL BE FOOTPRINTS OF ME LEAVING YOUR STREET;

BECAUSE NOW,

I AM A VOLCANO:

PIERCING THE CLOUDS IF I WANT;

ENGULFING YOUR SWORDS IF I CRAVE:

WHERE WILL YOU CAGE THESE FIRES?

WHERE MORE YOUR TOUCH WILL BURN THE BURNING?

BECAUSE NOW,

I AM A VOLCANO:

FREE.
