On the cabinets, on the tables, pinned on the wall. <br />Precious memories, pictures of us all. <br />Something fragile, a beauty so rare. <br />A new day dawning that we shared. <br />Take my hand and show me something I never seen. <br />Kiss me and send me higher than I ever been. <br />Cry tears of joy cause i’m so high. <br />Like fireworks on the fourth of July. <br />Two opposing forces collide and connect <br />Two crooked curves making each other straight. <br />Two astronauts floating in different worlds <br />When someone shut down the oxygen and i lost you girl. <br />Now we became tragic also-has-beens, <br />Suffering radiation fallout wondering what happened. <br />Blaming those around for setting off the bomb, <br />But honestly, it was an inside job. <br />Still can’t get over what we really were- <br />Two flawed people trying to make the real deal. <br />Our greenbacks were counterfeit. <br />Couldn’t make enough from it. <br />A bushfire fading like fireworks in the sky. <br />The higher you go the faster down you fly. <br />We were a crash landing, hundreds of miles apart. <br />Each walking off with part of the others heart. <br />A case of love bipolar – a serious commitment disorder- <br />Over-attached, puppy love, but it was a tall order. <br />Two lovebirds met a shotgun. <br />Both got blown up and then there was none.<br /><br />joses tirtabudi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-we-were-4/
