I, Want To Be Saved By You Poem by Mark Heathcote

I follow to view your distant shadow
Like a crow in a cornfield
The sun leaves lesions on my eyes
I devour all that I see before me
But I can't hide in the night.

You're a glinting star in my heart
Oh, I can't sleep far from your light.
I am in this illusion of shade
Like a fire truck waiting to be called out
To put out the flames, disperse the smoke.

But it's my life wants to be saved
Make no mistake!

Oh, I'll devour all of you, all your fears
And burn to a cinder
No matter how many stratospheres
I have to fall through, climb fly through
I'll surrender myself to you.

Oh, I'll free-fall like a comet into serenity
I will follow you on a moonbeam.
I follow to view your distant shadow
I burn at my core, my finger they're flames
That wants to snake, hear your insides hiss.

As the sun leaves, lesions on my lips.
I devour all of you; I, don't want to be saved
Any further, nor do you.
But it's my life wants to be saved
Make no mistake!
I want to be saved by you.
