Dark eyes shine; light a match.
Our fears are lighting up tonight
So let it fall and let it catch

Relationships, roughly patched,
Look just fine in shadows, right?
Dark eyes shine, light a match

In coming troubles, by the batch.
Pull curtains down; draw them tight.
Let it fall, let it catch

Across the skin, an angry gash.
Hide it quickly – out of sight.
But dark eyes shine and light a match.

Close the door. Lock the latch –
Chest is heaving from the fight;
It must not fall, it cannot catch

The paranoia, hugely vast,
With no escape, the final sight –
The Dark Eyes shine and light the match
Which I let fall and watch to catch.
