#tendertempest

the ghost of a past

or maybe a future

I never had

if I reach out

then can I grasp?

echoes of blue

circulate my system

if I lean in

will I just have missed it?

if I keep the distance

then can I stay?

if I conceal the heart

will you let me wait?

take a spark

light a match

hold it close

hold it tight

through the cold

through the night

they’d say it’s so dark

I see all the thunder

they’d say it’s a spark

I see all the fire

the danger

makes it

so much more

enticing

almost wanna 

bite in

fragile as it is

instinct says give in

conscious of my teeth

sharper than I knew

heavy on my jaw
