Elements
I write in the presence of your soul
Like you are the oxygen that is vital for my survival
Struggling for one final breath before the end of the world
Comes crashing down around us
I am the water as fluid as salty kisses on tear stained cheeks
Shattered sea shells on cement floors
From the vacation we took the summer you proposed
You are the fire dancing beautifully in the night
Mesmerizing to watch but dangerous to hold
A candle left burning far too long
I am the earth fertilizing your growth
Strong enough to support the roots you lay down
But still unsure of how to bloom on my own
WE are the elements
As night and day as they come
Symbolic yet dysfunctional
Together till the end but only because
You took parts of me that I never want back
