burning and destructing
until only our souls are recognizable
seeing the world through new eyes
each time we venture
into the life we had lived before
we must beg the question:
does this belong with me
with what i have become
must i build my new life
from pieces of the old,
if they are not reborn as i have been
or am i meant to start anew
and dig deeper to wonder:
should they become unrecognizable,
as i have,
will we ever rekindle?
are we supposed to?

never apologize for words thrown carelessly
or words not spoken at all
let the heat smolder beneath the surface
until you are full of hot magma

tick
tock

explosion will be rebirth
but your relationship
will be ashes

dying only makes it harder
for those who are still living
but I am so sick
of living for other people

Mid July nights
You roll over
And we're in a new city
I taste the adrenaline on your fingertips
As we taste each other in a new city

It is home just for one night
I wish I could call your eyes home again
But lately you're in another galaxy
Somewhere far away from here
If I ever found you,
Would you let me stay?

simple ******

Long, rolling thunder
In the dead of night

A crack of lightning,
Iridescent and bright

A slow drizzle
Stuck in the morning light

See me once,
Then I'm out of sight

Love me with all you've got
Before you ask yourself
What we should be
