a line divides us
on one side stands
stacked all steadily
the things to which
I hold close to heart
morals
ideals
promises
to myself
to others
and I can see you
watching me across the way
a mess around your feet
and fire
climbing to the sky
heat embracing you
just as you like it
chaos calm
to my
sometimes
opposites don’t attract
sometimes they explode
I won’t ask you to freeze in my arms
and you know I’ll never melt in yours
a line divides us
so little
so long
