Diode vs. Razah - OPEN FOR VOTES

[Diode]

summer sun glints, glowing - sparks and embers
memory fading fast fiercly, yet i still remember
that carolina sky with its rich refractive blue
hues of my feelings play vividly whenever i think of you

strawberry scents waft, dance, delicate.. delightful

that perfume you once wore did a piroutte on my puberty
uselessly, i struggled to find the right words
incite verbs.. to flow eloquently from my tongue
i'd tell you tall tales of my traumatic search just to find the right one

we'd unite, love. forever heavenly held
you and i? splendid, endlessly melt
under covers or behind doors, the choice yours
sometimes maybe even a bit voyeur
it was a fatal attraction, a chemical bond
unaware with youthful naievete of the terror beyond
time would level, but not pause,
frivolous in its fateful nature to keep marching right on

i still weep at the thought
ignorant in our bliss, diligent when we kissed
aging rapidly and clinging haggardly but for naught
then we're in disarray and distraught
and they say nothing gold can stay, but if i had my way
i'd still have the old you by my side to hold today

we'd rebuild collapsing castles in the many facets of the world we claimed
unashamed, recapturing the moment with a melody that we'd mold unchained
withhold the blame or jealousy wrecking me at every turn
and so it goes we'd make it through the fire with the fibers of our tapestry without burns

but that's just a fantasy, see?
the real world remains undeterred
to remind me of the pain left behind in this verse
when i think i've climbed above it all now
could reach the summit and clouds
i realize there's still so far to go
..though i'd never look down

because while it's true the theft of our love left me feeling bereft
i never could have left if i hadn't taken the first step
