Your heart,
like mittens,
warm
like a flower,
beautiful,
like a flame upon a candle
burning,
with passion and compassion
for every single soul.
Until,
someone
broke you in half,
left with the best of you,
left you broken,
shattered,
jaded,
completely
ice
cold.
Your heart was an impenetrable wall of solid ice.
And even I couldn't get to you.
And suddenly,
it dawned upon me,
that
I didn't know you anymore...
We're stars
Casting endless beauty, perfection to each point
Of perspective
We're burning, passion with no restriction
They say we'll burn out
But, love doesn't break with glimpses of tragedy
Even if we fall
From our heights of this sky full of fantasies
We're living out an existence of reality
~~
We will not burn out
We will only burn in...
Into each other, melting as one
Escaping our tight rope of fears
And gliding to the surface of our true beginning
I remember how your body used to feel
As my head laid upon your chest
The beat of your heart kept time to my thoughts
As your warm skin lulled me to rest
I remember the day your words cut me open
Like when butter kisses a heated knife
What once was a blanket in the heat of a storm
All comforts replaced with strife
I remember how my pillow began to feel
When it flipped to the opposite side
I counted the seconds between urges to call
If nothing else, I had my pride
Curled in on myself, desperate for warmth
Yet I seemed to get colder still
You greedily took all the warmth when you
Left me nothing, save for this chill
