Don’t bother with your words of praise;
I know your love isn’t meant for me.
Our souls fuse together up in the ether,
But our Earthly bodies aren’t meant to be.
I can’t tell you that I need you-
The way your Earth balances my Air,
The way you raise me up and bring me down
With one incendiary stare.
Set my flesh on fire,
Put a knife against my skin,
Make me forget the feeling,
Then turn your back on me again.
I can’t tell you that I want you,
So I’ll pour it out in the ways I’m allowed,
But my cup will soon run empty,
Like rain draining from a cloud.
I’d stand in the rain and wait for you
If I thought you’d wait for me.
I’d give you hints and clues and signs
In hopes that one day you’d see, but
I can’t tell you that I love you;
The wind knocks the air from my lungs.
The words are too much for me to say,
And the storm has only just begun.
