I am the tides
Pulled both ways
The flame that burns
Building, glowing frame
But devouring, taking away
Pulled both ways
Night and day
Polars
The same
I don't understand
But I can see everything

Skin is all the same
Words are just sounds
Rain is just salt water
Tears the same
Lips are all lips
All touches are received
Happiness is chemical
Finger tips cannot ****
Finger tips that scarcely touch
Are capable of so much pain

The rule is
You get what you give
So why do those who give all
Not receive the same
Guess it's not enough

I was taught love is like gravity
Reciprocated and unwavering
Like the tides
They never fail
