Slow Burn
These rehearsals of formalities are a need
Good habits set to blossom from a new seed
Pulled into your axis, yet I dance alone
Obstacles that separate us and burrow into my bones
In desperation and disbelief I grasp onto air
But in my mind I see your visage, your hologram, us twin fire pair
And I know this is necessary, this is a must
Lest this mosaic be tarnished by the slightest of gusts
But I’ll take things slow and follow all the clues
To yearn and learn about the mystery that is you
Gripped tight onto the rodeo, I foresaw a crash and burn
Too close too the sun we flew, so prudence we must learn
