Time and again

Time and again
breaks for silence
who would have thought that quiet can be so loud
who would have thought that seconds can be so painful
even more so when they accumulate
you say you like me
don‘t believe it
a bit because I can so rarely even really stand myself
a bit because you say it but I can only vaguely see your doing
this soft glow is hard to make out in the dark
and seems like nothing
when I am ablaze next to you
tell me
are you burning just as bright as me?
Are you burning up from the heat inside of you?
Or is it more, like
a bit of warmth
just what is needed
when all else is cold
Do you desire me?
I always desire you
constantly, really
every second I can‘t touch you
feels like a waste of time
how will it be when we meet?
Will you finally burn
for me
as much as I do for you?
You slow me down
and smother me time and again
but this is magnesium, baby
you can not smother me
only make it harder
to endure the burning
are you burning just as bright as me?
Can I only not see your fire because we are both ablaze?
