Living On Valuable Essences

Through hearts filled with dim hope:
I saw it in the eye of the storm,
Rising above, crying in pain,
I saw it mingle amidst the wrong,
In it, bathing, for so long.

I was caught, every rope lusting within.
Tighter, now loosen up,
Just for a second.

We stood and seared the wind.
Jumping across highwires,
And sneaking behind shadows.

Every heartbeat was vague,
Every kiss a reminder,
Of our sweet little madness.

And your hair felt right.
So I swam across your familiar perfume.
Your eyes screamed.
So I dived into your darkened lake.
Your tears fell.
So I drank every single drop.

Feeling your heartbeat soar,
Dampening thunders in the distance.
A blinding lightning in our eyes.

And it's not the fire,
Not the sweat,
Not the sweet little nothings
I want to whisper in your ear.

It's you.
