First Flame

First Flame

Fire

You held me

We were consumed

We were too blue

And I remember

The weakness

The passion

My friend

Fire,

You touched me, 

You loved me, 

You fucked me,

We were making our own rules

Hiding out by downtown rivers

Sneaking into rooms

I played the innocent

And I remember

I held you down

You wore the crown

Can’t deny feelings

Modern day Bonnie and Clyde

Would’ve given my life

Danger, 

I ignored all the signs

High off your identities

Most of them lies

Still brought that fire

First lit flame

I was a rider

But the game was changed

Know you brought that good,

That new to my life

I will say I’m good

Got a new kind of type

And he brings that fire in a different kind of way
