you found me when I was gone,
set me free in your arms,
something gone,
something missing,
its you,
those aren’t your arms,
and you reach out again the moment I am gone,
when I disappear into thin air,
standing here,
i watch you grab for nothing,
something that’s already in the atmosphere,
here all along in the air that you breath,
circulating back again to you,
set me free again,
into your arms of strengthened steel,
do not fall,
waver,
or flinch,
because your tower is fragile with me atop it,
you cant let me go,
i won’t allow it,
something brings me back down,
the wind from your flapping wings,
youve always been too weak,
nothing can stop you,
because while I feel free within your embrace,
mine sends you into pain,
i know now my arms are not oceans wide,
i wish they were never ending,
freedom in their waving figures,
you fly further and further while I learn how to stretch,
my arms are the sky,
maybe I can reach you now?
youve flown so high,
your feathers catching fire,
my heart was always set ablaze,
set again in brilliant flames,
your catching me,
your catching me in the blaze,
where did the sky go,
it seems you’ve burned it all,
after all I’ve done,
after all the worlds I’ve stretched across,
i didn’t want this flaming disaster,
but you fall,
from the sky,
the clouds catching fire as you plummet,
death,
your demise could never satisfy my aching heart,
my burning embers,
i was always meant to bring you down,
even as you hid away,
flying away with your bird of paradise wings,
i stand in flames that will always expand,
crashing down the world above and around,
wings are for the ones of the sky,
the ground calls to us both,
but our only ground is scorched,
losing meaning,
losing freedom,
yeah I burned it all,
and now you’ve gone,
a Phoenix that runs away again,
valiant as you are,
with golden feathers,
and burning ember hearts,
you have more love than I could ever manage,
you have more coal than I could ever set fire too,
it burns and burns and your heart always returns,
i see now that I am useless,
set me ablaze in the sand,
snuff me out with the wind from your shining feathers,
brushing them against my heated skin,
fire again,
can not set you free,
i fall in a moment again,
magnificent glittering pain,
engulfs you in flame,
and I need to let you go.
let you bring me down,
or I fear one day your pheonix feathers will set flame,
and you will be born never again,
you keep me scared,
i have no way to love,
where did it all go?
I fell hard,
to the flames of a hopeless sorrow,
just as its supposed to be.
and you love me so,
madness in your eyes,
hearts of golden fire,
you don’t know,
what you’ve done,
pushing me away into the sand,
i suppose you knew this would eat me alive,
that my embers would burn you too,
and I know you,
that you would never leave,
even as you walked through the door,
even as your feathers were ripped from your very body,
because freedom was in us together
