I build it up and hold a fire
And burn all night long
I acquiesce with grace, to your desire
And dance to a tuneless song
I drench this frail body in tears
And melt my flesh for you
I strip myself of all my fears
And do as you ask me to

As you are bending over me
I don’t attempt to hush my sighs
And tease you as you tease me
I lie awake and keep you warm
When you decide to sleep
I faint and fade in my calm
My strength isn’t to keep
I stay by you when morning dawns
And refuse to let go
I just am one among your pawns
