You remind me of soothing and calm music
You remind me of thunder during storms
Both sweet and bitter,
you live inside me

my writings
they are fire
warm
yet
they burn

it was everything
it was a sonogram of a mellifluous melody
it was the color of the sky before night had settled in
it was as if drowning in it was a great mistake

it was everything
it was the rainbow after every thunderstorm
it was like reaching the land after hours of being stranded
it was the cure for a wary wandering soul

it was everything
it was the moment your car hits the side road
it was when your candle stops burning
it was the darkness you felt before you drift off to sleep

it was everything
(i told myself)
it was everything
(was it really?)

Who would guess
a blow of smoke
in your lungs
replaced
a place for me
in your heart
