Like lava, I'm simmering

Palermo, Sicily

I keep my lips closed.

No, I don’t scream.

Even though, oh my god

I am boiling.

Just being around you makes my heart race.

I feel fire in my eyes

A heat so hot it turns to tears.

I wonder if you’ll, look at me

, say my name.

I showed my soul to you

Bared my heart upon your plate

so when our glances chance to meet

they go right through into the depths of me.

How, do you have a knife on the end of your gaze?

I feel the wound inside of me.

Tap, tap

with each glance I feel my fault lines triggered

Tap, tap

every-time someone says something nice about you

Tap, tap

I am on fire

and I feel you are, too.

I am a volcano, and you are lightning.

I am patient, for now dormant

My lava simmers like waves in the night.

I am patient, for now dormant.

I am just waiting for the day you will strike
