you can't understand
what you do to me
every glance clouds my mind

enthralled by the way
your lips say my name
with you i lose track
of all time

loving you is like breathing
your kisses like air
and i'm drowning

catching my tears
you pull me up
save me from the dark

holding me close
with you my heart sings
that's how i know
it's love

the person behind the looking glass
no longer smiles back.

I pity people who don't like reading,
the ones that only see a story without feeling it,
those who cannot immerse themselves in words,
for they aren't truly reading,
to read you have to lose yourself within a character,
disappear into the story,
manage to escape from reality,
to the sanctuary of a story's words,
suspended between worlds,
holding you in its spell,
to read you can't be you,
become someone else,
awaken in a new reality

Humans are like fire,
some are warm,
comforting,
they light the way for others,
but some,
destroy,
consume,
burn each other down,
can reduce the world,
to ash and bone,
and leave you tasting smoke,
don't be a wildfire,
be a torch in the darkness,
burn bright ember eyes

He will not stay forever
She will not put up with you for eternity
The only form of truly unconditional love you can receive
Is not from the hands of a human
but at the paws of a dog
