He was like drowning,

Every time you broke the surface for a gasp of air

You were pushed back under.

She was like fire,

Every time you got too close – too memorized by her beauty

You were burned to a crisp

And everyone knows that fire and water don’t mix,

Everyone knows that fire and water cancel each other out

But somehow, someway

These two were perfect in ways beyond belief

They changed each other for the better not for the worse

They loved each other even when everything hurt

They trusted each other in ways others could only dream of

But it was the death of the boy which put out the girls flame

She no longer shined as bright,

No longer became a force to be reckoned with

She knew her lover was scolding her from above,

Shaking his head in disappointment while wanting her to live on

But she didn’t, she couldn’t live without her partner in crime

So soon enough she gave up.

She looked to the sky, tears streaming down her face once again

And it was only when she put out her own flame did, she feel happy.

She put out her own flame to become whole,

She put out her own flame for him.
