Air and Fire

It is not important — the why
we are the way we are this instance

I, compressing at air
you, taming fire

But our job is not to water down,
mold till we reflect each other

For you are born to be infinite
and I, to paint the city orange in colour

I trace along the curve of your neck
(Please never leave me)

Touch my lips to the your crown
(Please never leave me)

Breathe in the scent of your cheeks
(Please never leave me)

Draw circles in on your arms
(I love you, please never leave me)

And I see myself
Doing things I’d never
Believe
I could do

Not even for myself
I see me perform
Easily
For you

When it is so dark
You cannot see
Reach beside you
And I’ll be there

Pain is a strange thing
Full of lies, it will be
Painting stories of tragedy
you will learn to believe

Into the role, perfectly
Pushing at you, screaming
Crying. A disgusting mess of
Madness and grief

Sorry I let the poison of pain
Swallow me; I forgot to see
Every time I clawed at you,
You’ve only responded with love

I know I like to question
Mark our differences in red
Remarks: People are drawn to the similar

But underlying I think I know
We are more akin than not
Note-to-self: disparity is only louder

I wrote a letter
added a tune
maybe the birds
could sing it to you

well,
there’s not much written
it was only three words
in the middle of the paper
“i miss you”

What I want is simple:
I want you to be happy

You said you love me
You’d give me anything
(Yourself you claimed,
don’t mean nothing)

But darling don’t you see?
You gave relentlessly
Yet you don’t grant
The one thing I wished

You said you love me
You’d give me anything
I want you to be happy
Darling, don’t you see?

With you,
not one moment is ordinary
no adventure too scary
no history I cannot defeat.

With you,
Suddenly life has meaning
time is short I start wishing
for forever, you and me.

(writteninstead)

I want to be happy, with you.

With you, I want to be happy.
