You know what it is

To feel a fire beneath your skin

To press your fingers to the floor

And desperately want to begin again.

What it is,

To dance slowly in the rain,

Laughing in a sad silence is what we do,

relishing in this steady pain.

How it is,

To press your body to mine

Your light challenges the stars

And makes them seem not quite so bright.

You know what it's like...

To wish to be alone,

To only want to once again

Have your heart turned to stone.
