In the past we were otherworldly
But when you get
Older
Bolder
Sainer
I remember everything you have done.
Burning like embers concentrated.
Falling tinder yelling frustrations.
I consume everything you are.
Smoke rising up like pillars in the sky
Thought you were sleeping
Safe and sound, burning in my arms.
Instead, you were gone.
When I gave you shelter with my fire
Ended up suffocating all of my love
Left me smoldering with a broken heart.
Tendrils of smoke slowly dancing.
Ashes floating from deception.
You were nothing after all.
Now we are
Plainer
Colder
Bitter
After you broke this spell with all of your doubt.
Guess we were human after all.
