Dare I say that we are together and doing well
When the night before was unmitigated hell
How can this be now
I reached my boiling point then, but my head still aches
Yet, I am awakened by the feel of scratchy stubble on my face
In the softness of fury, forth and back we go
Constantly, unknowingly, aware, alert… to and fro
Night and day hate each other
I am entrapped by your arms’ embrace
Your lips find mine, we both steal a taste
Yes and no are best friends
Mingled, mangled, and drowning… optionally yours
Destructive storms make still waters behind closed doors
Your comfort kills my piece of mind
Insults and praise twist themselves and are intertwined
We speak the same language
Fire chars and burns your soul
The fire that heats my voice before traveling through the black hole
Wrath resides where pure bliss lives
You take, I take, we both give
We are selfish
Angry white steam evaporates up into the night air
With your gesture as hateful hands smooth back my hair
Stay away from me, but don’t leave
Disaster, peace, in oblivious glee we conceive
Our spirits are razed and raised
Rhythmically, tranquil raindrops fall…they are tears
Unmitigated hell is flooded out…washed away are all fears
We are transformed
Our desperate lifeline has become a promise etched in stone
The promise lives, dies, and is regrown
