All that Remains

Of Push and Pull

Try the oceans that you keep

No more crying, not a peep

'Neath my nose I do not seek

And see the starry child

Lay too far, beyond my reach

Past curtain silk and starry reef

Venture far, she will leave

And leave me lonesome here

Her fire fades each day, away

Feet blistered, bloodied, bruised, gray

None can come, none can stay

To witness danger that I am

"Red only lasts so long" said she

Looking into my reflection, me

Two sides fight, lock and key

For the right to my blessed heart

I push you away, and you come back

Though I try to resist, a skill I lack

Your certain pull to the brain I wrack

To try and remember why

Sweet as honey, warm as summer

A friend reflection of a lover

That's why I come to hug her

But realize she's not here

An illusion of what it truly was

A reflection in this house, abuzz

So why can't I shed this feeling of fuzz

And gain control of myself?

She pushes, I pull

I'm empty, she's full

She is me and I am her

Daughter of this earth
