Fire and Ice
All I know is how
black snow hails from the sky when you're not around
and I guess that's how you wanted it to be
because now you're gone
and I'm walking through the ash all alone
wishing for a way out.
My singed arms sing stories of better times
but now theres no one around to listen to my screams,
my pleas,
please help,
because I can't stand the thought
of me without you
My head is like a waterfall
and I'm overflowing with emotions
that I can't erase
because even though
you've never been anything but toxic,
I can't seem to forget your
icy eyes and the kiss that left fire on my lips.
But now I know that ice melts away
on a hot day and that fire is an unpredictable storm.
So I guess I'll keep pretending I'm okay
when on the inside I'm burning away and
I can't even look at you for fear of being
engulfed by flames.
So instead I walk through clouds of smoke
and smile to stop
my eyes from watering and
my lungs from caving in.
