And Heartbreak

Love is fire

The flames battle your darkness away

The warmth invites your heart to stay

It will burn when you hold it too tight

Smother it, and you’ll live without light

********

Love is water

Floating you past the worst of your days

Refreshing your soul from shadowy ways

Dive deep, and you’ll drown in the abyss

Washing away the memories of your bliss

********

Love is air

Breathing you towards the best you can be

Blowing away your troubles until you’re free

Turbulence exposes the rifts in your defense

Wild winds destroying your common sense

********

Love is earth

A fertile soil where you can plant your seeds

A garden where you will find all of your needs

When the ground beneath you starts to shake

Prepare yourself for the incoming heartbreak
