Don't take me lightly

Hidden between the folds of light
the heart after your own heart
a heart of darkness
blanketed in light like satin

This paper heart creased
under it's own weight
like origami drenched
with guilt like gasoline

Because I've walked through
the valley of the shadow
of death only to find
that the shadow was me

Oh my soul's a piece of coal
I only want to burn brightly
even if just to escape the dark
could I get a light?
