Earth and Air

Turn my head away and let go
Completely
Yet your faces turn up and show
Discretely

Run as fast as I can once more
Faster
Yet you show up at my door
Disaster

Denying this with my whole being
Familiar
This is stranger than where I've been
Peculiar

Throwing darts at the warmth of your heart
Regretfully
Yet not wanting to be apart
Perceivably

Slapping your face and hurting my hand
Unmistakable
Questioning your presence in my land
Unbreakable

Drowning in an ocean with my hand in yours
Unstoppable
Resisting but not overcoming this force
What a thrill

Staring into but beyond your eyes
Unforgiving
Allowing you to lift my disguise
Yet still leaving

Dreaming of us in a different time
Unfair
Left alone with rhythm and rhyme
Earth and air
