Relight

Oh, won't you cut me open,
just to see if I still bleed.
This hollowness inside me
is giving me fatigue.

I can feel the palpitations,
of a slowly beating heart.
But, it needs activated.
Please, hit restart.

The wind out there,
it whispers,
I can feel it in my bones.
Calling me in shivers.
Soon I'll have to go.

To follow it's motion,
it's wild, winding path.
Over mountains
into valleys,
and through my heart
at last.

Here my feet,
feel sticky.
But, the glue
it will not keep.
The craving deep inside
it's voice
so loudly speaks.

To the remnants of the embers
who's fires die out fast,
sensing soon
they need ignited
to burn away the past.

So please, dear,
cut me open.
Turn the embers in your hands,
something in me's frozen.
Please light it up
again.
