They called it the fire of innocence,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The flames of two bounded souls.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And it was perfect.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I gazed at your face,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw the blaze, the firestorm,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw the anguish, the desire,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And I burnt, brightly.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your words, my dear, nourished the spirit inside<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That for long, yearned to abide.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We met and melt.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We fell and felt.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We loved and left.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They called it faith,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The destiny of two tortured phantoms.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And it was perfect.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I gazed at your eyes,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw the wind, the rain,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And I grew, endlessly.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your words, my dear, watered the bloom inside,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That for long, wished to have died.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We were a sinking boat,\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Heavier than broken stars,\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We were a wrecked crate,<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Carriers of a doomed end.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They called it bitterness,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The fortune of every being.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And it was perfect.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I gazed at your heart,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw the dread, the torture,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And I drowned, perfectly.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your sight, my dear, extinguished the incentive inside,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That for long, had cried.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Slowly, gently, it died,<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I died, you died,\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We died.\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They called it love,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The ache the two quiddities share.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And it was perfect.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I gazed at you,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw the demise, the casualty,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And I broke, happily.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your warmth, my dear, had frozen the flames inside,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
