Playing with Fire

Love is our blood, and we were playing with fire
"I'll miss you..." our first baby steps,  
With tears dancing in the graveyard
Silently promising to never say those words again
 
The time, they said that would sink us
Draws us nearer with its gravity  
And the closeness that they warned  
Has yet not to keep us afloat
 
My confidant, you carry my secrets in your ears
And I carry your yearning heart in my hands
Together, we play with fire, knowing all too well
it's an architect of life yet destroyer of worlds
 
Together redressing our lifeblood deficiencies
From penniless lovers eloping afoot to Lima  
To red dressings and ties, under the burning skies
Dancing in the ocean's depths... hand in hand, shaking
A messy mutual loan and insider high-yield investment  
INCLUDED BUT NOT LIMITED TO:
HAPPINESS, UNCERTANTY, TEARS, ANGER, FORGIVENESS
ENCOURAGEMENT, DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, TEARS AGAIN,
HEART PALPITATIONS, INSOMNIA, PSYCHOSIS
MIGHTY STRENGTH, UNTHINKABLE WEAKENESS
LIFE, dEATH, LOVE, AND BLOOD.
 
Symptoms... whether once a day or in a blue moon,
I'll take my chances and keep playing with fire.
