Her lips are an ointment for my torn soul. Her heart beat against my chest is like a hammer chipping away at the stone that has formed around my heart. I want to love you but I've forgotten how. Her eyes are an ocean and I can't help but drown. That's all I'll ever be..the one that you could have saved.
We're star crossed lovers by choice because I can't let you in. To let you in would be a betrayal to the persona that I've forged when you're with me. I don't want you to see me because when your lips touch mine the fire that burns inside hurts. It hurts because I want you more than a junkie with a needle that's just gone dry, more than the man stuck under water needing that last gasp of air, more than a fire before it turns to dust.
In all of this I realize it's not you that I want...I realize that's it's you that I need. We are two souls intertwined sharing this moment of completeness. I'm saturated in your essence and I don't want to leave. When the sun comes up I won't be there anymore. I won't be there because I know you need someone that can give you what you give me. We were a shooting star that was destined to burn out. You were my last breath. When you wake up the fire of what we had will be gone and there will be nothing left but the ash of the flames once passed....
