I have no middle
I am not empty
If there was nothing to fill in the first place
My fingers dance
Where there is no music
There will be no music
Never again
I was born to die
Never to smile
Never to feel the joy
of togetherness
Of light
No tears
Only space
Drifting away from the shores of
Sanity
The shadows have gone and I am alone
in the grey
Your ice touched the fire
it was I who got burned
You held tight to the flames
for which I always yearned
You were given her soul
and you gave it no thought
While I'll never have
what I desperately sought
I am broken, I've shriveled
I'm shattered, bereft
I had no hope to start with
now I have nothing left
I want to light a fire inside you
To stoke your flames
And make your body melt
I want to see your eyes ablaze
To feel the smoke
Rise off your body
I want you to beg me to
Satisfy this unbearable heat
I want to bring you to a boil
And breathe in the steam that you gasp out
I want to burn my fingers when I touch you
As I make your temperature soar higher
I want to scald my tongue when I taste you
And when you burn out beautifully
I want to cradle your glowing embers
And keep you warm
For next time
Who decided
fire
was the word to describe this?
He has made me into
water
with only his words
Years and miles have passed us
And I have changed so much
Dare I believe that I'll be
Reawakened at your touch?

The thoughts your offer brings me
Are music to my ears
But what if I've grown cold toward
Love after all these years?

I cannot help but overthink
And to expect the worst
Yet you still have this hold on me
You'll always be the first

To choose familiarity
And thus stay close to pain?
Or be uncaged and scattered
In a city of you and rain?
She whispers my name
but I can hear her
clear as day
I turn
and she's there
she smiles and laughs
and tilts her head
just so
And together we close the distance between us
and my mind sighs
and she sighs
as I run my fingers through her hair
just so
and the moment is perfection
and it is just as I dream
as I dream
I dream
and my eyes drift open
and I sleep
Oh, the wind in your hair...
God, that smile on your face...
How your eyes shine with joy from afar!
And while I despair,
While I drown in this place,
Still you wave from your boyfriend's red car.
