Deflated Balloons

Love can live in many different tones
For me I felt it at the surface alone
Where I tinkered and toyed, I tried to hone

When love pierced me deeper it would scar me
Until I became corrupt with insecurity
So I took love to make the hurt feel better
Until I had nothing but a mess to clean
The constant scrubbing kept spreading the dirt again

When I met you
You saw straight through and I saw straight through
All the lingering doubt stood up and left the room
All that remained was magic truth
That you can give to me and I can give to you

I still marvel and dream

You were the shelter and the perfect storm
Liquid fire inside me has been born
There was nothing i ever needed more
Than being seen at my core
Now i know what you were for

We shared our secretive news
Built a castle of words and deflated balloons
We learnt how we are is not what we want
We can make it alone and not break every bone
In our lives, & our bones have eyes

I still marvel and dream what we could have been
