She's Not Your Enemy

She's Not Your Enemy

I see through glistening eyes the way you look at her

Like she’s an unleashed monster setting fire to your treasure

I hear through the creaks in my door, what you say to her

The words she is used to, tear my heart asunder

The daggers of hatred shooting from your eyes in this battue

The poisonous spite you spit molding her waxy heart ever since she saw you

She’s not your enemy, yet in her tolerance is an expanse of battleground you find

She’s not your enemy, yet you purge her of the sins that exist in your mind

This is shattering my heart and soul as I ask your anger, “Where are you from?”

She’s not your enemy, yet your treatment of her weighs on my peace when I do anything to becalm

Gravity

I see you shine in the crowd that savors your glory Fiercest of elements would agree if I adored you to a fault Oh well, your gravity is mightier than my cry for you in this story

Show me again, what's worth worshipping within this plight Something tells me I will beg to differ While your nectar laden gaze sustains me for a fortnight

Dangle in front of me, a path I can't follow if it led me to a midnight sea My ink falls short in doing justice to your pull Your fleeting presence tells me this can never be

I will feel you in the moonlight that you must be looking at this moment that the night conspires How I would follow you to the ends of the earth if you utter the words How I would let you shatter my heart if it fuelled your command that everyone admires

As much of your incendiary attraction I can stomach which triggers in me a quake I will pen my feelings and send them to the stars that do not align for us But even the most fearsome solar storms can't stop me from basking in your wake
