I wanted to be saved
I craved
a connection,
a love I could trust
Blinded by obsession
twisted to tension
Was love meant to be lust?
Begging you to stay
was a chase
with trip wires
How a match that's burnt out
can't start fires
fingerprints singed from the tries
does numbness inspire?
Smoke was a haze
that surrounds you
Consumed in the fumes
It allures you
If you don't look down
the ground, betrays you
Love was a maze
A rainy day
left me ashes
the wind icy, circling past us
I was wrong all my life
On love and on loss
I never knew loss until I met you
Losing means nothing without love
And our love meant nothing without loss
Love is a street lined with oak trees
Branches like hands holding leaves
Cradling flowers in spring
Love is a street,
it goes two ways
Stretches horizon to horizon
Travels East to West
and sunrise to sunset
