how we fall apart

Us, our love
Fire,
Hungry, flaming
Holding us in her burning embrace
We, her fuel
And we burn, unknowing...

Me, my life
A kiss,
Burning, taking my soul away
Leaving nothing
But you, carved in my heart...

You, your shoulders
A cornerstone,
Taking my pain away
Believing for a moment
That everything is alright...

Me, my smile
Joy,
Warming my heart
Filling me with hope
Fragile, shimmering...

You, your heart
Fear,
Freezing you to the bones
Taking away
All we had, little by little...

Me, my tears
Sorrow,
Drowning me in my heart
Unbelieving
You're going, forever now...

You, your words
Doubt,
Filling everything, tainting every thought
Pushing me far away
Away from your arms...

Us, our love
Fire,
Just a fire
Extinguished now
But not soon enough
Not before it burned
Everything to the ground...
