are you listening, baby?
is this where we stand?
are we the front line?
do we die hand-in-hand?
and are we the martyrs
of a love turned to lust?
or can we be saved
by a miracle of trust?

"darling, everything they ask for
is everything you can't bear to lend" -
like the means must always justify the end,
and like you sleep, endlessly nonchalant.
"catch me if you can", she whispered.
and I believed in every breath.
"we're lovers, not fighters
but we will fight until death."

eyes soaked in fire,
will burn through our hearts,
and fences of wire,
will keep us apart.
blades dipped in trust,
are what we desire.
with unbridled lust,
and love we acquire,
the parts of ourselves,
we've hid from each other,
that were lost on the shelves,
between friends and lovers.

there's a silence in the air,
it reeks of "don't you understand?"
it demands to know where you planted the seed,
and it weeps and begs for you to set me free.
you seep through open doorways,
and my body aches for you in more ways than one.
like a firefly in the night,
welcome to my life with you.
