Earth
You have buried my heart,
beneath boulders,
I can never break.

Water
You are a tidal wave,
crashing down on me,
drowning me.

Air
You are the breath
that give my lungs life,
and keep my heart beating.

Fire*
You* are the flame,
that scorches,
and consumes my heart.

You are my gravity.
I'm tying my soul to you.
Do not let me go.

Just
let the heart
crying
and
let the eyes
watering

Beauty comes a dime a dozen**
Sliding through the cracks
Sticky change if you ask me
But I don't check the facts
I'm a penny-pinching prophet
All premonitions made out to cash
My fingers dig between the floorboards
But there are *some things I can't grasp

I would go through the hurt again
if it meant having you back in my life
I would still believe your beautiful words
even after I have learnt that none of them were true
I would still smile at how perfectly  you constructed them
well aware that the joy was just a thing of the moment
because that short spell of joy was like an eternity to my soul.

I would use the same road whence our
encounter happened,
I would... I would still ask you out
without a single doubt

I would, not because I enjoy pain
not because I pleasure in my despondence
not because I prefer the past to the future
No,
It's because you lit a flame in me
that even after you extinguished our passion
still shines bright... you made me believe in myself
you gave me a friend and made me feel safe
you gave me a whole new dimension
to live my life, the only downside being
you are not here to share in the glory
of my self-discovery.
