Facets of Him

His essence like AIR to me Was what I thought I needed to breath Soon permeated my being Infecting me with his toxin Crippling my lungs Long deep breaths Became short desperate gasps Now I am barely alive Choking to survive His flow like WATER Once gentle and inviting so confident was I Diving head first Immersed And then left on my own Clawing my way to the surface Only to be washed away And drowned in his current His aura solid like EARTH So high was I that I was floating away I welcomed tethering myself to him Content in his orbit fancying myself the moon in his sky illuminating darkness with my wonderful light Only I didn't realize That he would show no love Casting off my glow ....merely... as reflected sun His passion burned like FIRE Bringing warmth to my cold desolate existence Pulling me closer, there was no resistance Despite his insistence...you will get burned... I surmised that my love returned would shield my soul But his passion flared and swallowed me whole
