Smoke & Vapour





I
hold onto you by every molecule.
Taking shape in the vessel you put me in.
Elevated from the moment you laid your sight on me
Extinguished, when you shone too bright on me
And for a fleeting instant
We shone together
Against the laws of nature

But then when has fire ever been known to show any mercy to anyone
It just burns.
and scorches.

And as you sear through my being
with red flames dancing through my body so cold
 beyond my threshold
I,
As the water, loosening her grip
With every drop of its existence,
While bleeding the monsoons you showed me
And releasing the promises you owed me
 Pulled by the mirthful gravity
Will decend
Seperating
Isolating
Sliding
and Gliding
Until I crash
Through your surface
Showing off our spectacle of passion and fury for one last time
For one fleeting moment
Before all that's left of you is just smoke.
And all thats left of me is vapour.

Smoke & Vapour
This is how it will end.
Everytime I try to quench my thirst with a cup of fire,
Or you try to use a bit of water to light your way
Because ultimately we both destroy.

We are not Incompatible.
Its just..
we are not meant to be.
