Nearly another decade

=========================================

With Compliments

In any corner of the earth

I'll bring fire to your hearth.

I'll sell my soul to find you warmth.

Don't take this the wrong way.

Carcasses of days that pass

Rot away on doorstep grass.

You stay young, shielded in glass.

This isn't meant to ruin your day.

Broken tiles and bitten shoes,

No longer of any use;

Torn-up sheets, irrelevant news...

I just asked if you're okay.

Bravery is underrated:

You know how the future's fated.

Happy Birthday belated,

Répondez s'il vous plaît
