You were fire
Burning brighter than the sun
Scorching my life to red brittle sand
You spark that golden hair
The golden flame, the golden idol

And I was water
You boiled me until I fell
Fell into the empty nothing of
Clouds, of steam
Out of the geyser
Into hell

I think you need the water
To soothe the blistered soul
Whoever it might belong to.
Cool and melancholy tides
Beating in and out
Reliable as the rocks you scorched
Silent and still

You needed what I gave so direly
You forgot to desire me
As I desired you
I clung to your flames
Because nobody floats on a frozen sea.

But you just couldn't stop
I like to think you couldn't control it
Sometimes I know you could
So I ran and I ran
Boiling spray spitting and screaming

And it's cold now.
You burn sparsely with no embers
I still see you
I don't like to,
Your gaze scorches my skin
But it's too far frozen

Nobody floats here now
I'm still, silent, frozen
A beating heart
Encased in an Artic grave
Sometimes I crave the heat
But there is scars burned into me,

They beg me not to.

But it is only human
To crave what kills you
Who are we to deny it.
Survival and Living
They are not of the same tree
I'm not sure which you gave me
Or what you took from me

I don't wish to hate you
There is beauty in your fire
It lights up the sky
Burning, burning.
But this is better.

Alone is better,
And I'm too far frozen
To feel your fire again.
