Elemental

All the water in the world could not quench my taste for you,
I'm desert-dry and lost inside the desert of this torturous life.
I'm parched. Dehydrated. Delirious. And all that I can think of
Is your succulent lips pressed against mine, giving me life,
Filling my soul with the sweet taste of you kissing me whole.

All the wind inside you lungs would blow this storm away...
I'm suffocating, breathless when you're not around me,
And yet, I run from you despite my better instincts to return,
To breathe you inside my empty lungs and hold you in,
Like one last cigarette and only exhale you inside my last breath.

The fires of the sun, combined, couldn't burn away these feelings
Burning like acid through my broken heart, burning intensely
And if I tried to stop, I couldn't fight the pain away and I'd give in,
I'd ask for you to stay with me, and pull me to your chest,to feel your warmth
Your blood so hot to keep me warm night after night.

All the dirt around the world couldn't cover up my shame, my worry
And the earth itself should swallow me away until I learn to tame these feelings.
But I know it won't. I know the stars aligned when you walked in and when
You smiled at me, and I smiled back, so no, the earth can't hold us back
For we are star-crossed, lover, and there's no going back.

My soul is thrown about on this sea of questions, suffocating, screaming
And all I want is to be pulled to your chest and touch your heart,
Be swallowed whole and see the dying starts, they die for you and I,
For us to be united by wind, by the sea and the fiery sky
And live together, you and I until these god damned feelings die.
