Fire and Ice
Like a fire in the arctic,
With a chill to keep us warm,
Our embrace becomes lethargic,
As we kiss to fight the storm...
Though we're equally seductive,
And we compliment each other,
Can be frequently destructive,
When ones left to find another...
It's our opposite attraction,
That insists that we be close,
Until it starts a chain reaction,
We assume to be our host...
So the smallest compromises,
Though at first will feel like pain,
Release something as it rises,
That falls back to us as rain...
And as each vaporizes,
While it brings me to my knees,
I'll quench the fire in your eyes,
So we can let the others freeze...
