Your thorns

We are mismatched you and I
Day and night trying to converge
I think we have collided for lifetimes
You trying to light the pyre
Me attempting to put out the wildfire

I am the eye of the storm
And you are the fury
I longed for the ONE
To fill my emptiness
But I shattered myself on your broken edges


You wrapped your tenderness in barbed wire
And made me bleed to find it
Our souls longed for one another
Yet could not exist together
I felt the need to heal your pain
But the thorns gave you strength

I see now that you meant no harm
You are a warrior, fierce and burning
And I am silk waving in the wind
