Submissions by labyrinths

Love is a blazing flame
that burns holes in the heart
and shines blissfully yet silently
but only lasts temporarily

It can be intimidating to some
wind must be the weapon
that finishes off the flame
that kept so many alive

It is iridescent,
secure when it's
barricaded
yet, at any second
it can burn out,
and leave you in empty darkness.

I can't quite remember
things
things that were once everything

I don't quite understand
myself
and how I feel

I don't quite know what you wrote in
that song
for me

I will never quite know
what went through your mind
in those simple 6 hours and 7
minutes

if I would've known
the whole truth
when we were happening
we wouldn't have even happened
we wouldn't exist
I wouldn't dare to get close to you
I would've kept my distance

that first night I opened up to you
stupid of me
to release all my feelings
to a stranger
but at the time
it felt right
just like that, you gained my trust

and ever since that day
i confided in you
and told you things
things that i only wanted
you to know
because you were special to me

14 days into talking,
336 hours. 20,160...

a winter evening,
piercing cold
I lay myself on a beaming slide
you proceed,
slowly pressing your body against me

two souls conjoined into one.
