Glistening Moons

Like moons, us two gleam
Teardrops on shattered glass~
You burn my skin like embers
But pull me back so quickly

Into your orbit, my gaze is fixed
Taste caramelized, sweet as candy apple
Touch leaving frostbite on my hands
The next melts it into two rivers

Personality stripped to pureness
No skin left to protect it
When judgement day begins its wrath
You'll sit crowned in layers of pearls

And while we fall to each other's pull
Gravity pulls your mind against mine
Your thirst and yearning fades to dust
Only the second moon melts your tundra heart~
