It's only the chase

Once you've caught it

Throw it back

Then catch it again

You break the silence

You help put the pieces together

You're a breath of fresh air

You're unpredictable

You're overlooked

You're beautiful

You're role is small

You are still

You are appreciated

Nostalgia circulates through these veins
Same old people
New bodies
New pain
Love is barren for my heart is preoccupied
Common misconceptions take the throne and reign

I remember the days when I thought happiness was free
Soon I learned it never was
Someone else paid the price for me
Now simplicity has been crucified
Silence is reduced to bronze
Now I wonder what was the cause

Everything I knew was turned to ash
But who ignited the fire

Nerves
Confusion
Sweat
Clutter
In the midst of it all I found you

Mistakes
Pause
Discord
Chaos
1..2...breathe in exhale
My mind goes back to you

Who are you
How could you
Who told you
How long will you stay

It's just you and me
But we were never meant to be
A tear in the fabric of space and time
Another line to add to my notebook of rhymes

It's crazy how life takes twists and turns
Close my eyes and see the bridges burned
May the flames only light our way
To the paths we are destined to cross one day

One day soon love will be free
I won't give up the fight until you return to me
I'll imprison my heart under keys and locks
Forever yours my Paradox

Fire
Water
There is no in between

Highs
Lows
There are no in betweens

Life
Death
There is no in between

Black
White
Grey

Treasure
Radiant
Undeniable
Enduring
Long-suffering
Omnipresent
Vibrant
Endless
