It seems a distant memory
Though not so long ago
Your fire was impetuous & intoxicating
Yet sincere and unguarded
I was blissfully enraptured,
Requiring someone to pinch me awake.
I received my ill wish...
Quite suddenly the flames died and my eyes opened
I nursed the embers with my breath
But they ignored my efforts
I grasped the hot ashes just to feel something
Soon dark coldness engulfed me
My hands, though scarred and burned
Remain the only reminder of your soft and certain lips
The darkness, the antithesis of you bright curious eyes
The coldness, a drastic change from your warm embrace
I'm only soothed by your constant smile
Opposites consume my questioning mind
Compromise. Understanding. Confusion.
Do I want too much from you?
You ask for my patience
I simply ask for your kiss
This stalemate is as cold as marble chess pieces
And in this battle we both loose
