Desire

Leave him alone

Put out the fire

All that’s left

Are the remnants 

Of my desire

For what has been done

Cannot be undone

The atonement is due

Perhaps North

Never South

For looking behind

Is what young people do

The wise ones

Look into the fire

And find a brand new desire

Cast in fire

You were once

My desire

Leave him alone

Put out the fire

All that’s left

Are the remnants of my desire

For what has been

Cannot be undone

The atonement

Is due

Perhaps North

Never South

For looking behind

Is what young people do

The wise ones however

Look deep into the fire

And find a brand new desire
