Lithium and Fire

You and I
We were never good for each other
You would burn me
Like I was the most combustible element to exist
I would feed your flame
Like it were a flame that hungers for more ignition

We burn, we blaze
Conflagrant, you and I
We hurt, we pain
Conficted, you and I

Yet this fire
This reaction
This chemistry
As it burns
It grows more beautiful
Sublime, conspicious, enlivening
Conducing a product
Of passion
Of love
And everything in between

We fuse, we unite
Fervent, you and I
We spark, we glow
Deflagrating, you and I

You and I
We were never good for each other
But somehow
This immense attraction
Even with the faintest hopes of becoming
You and I
We were Lithium and Fire

We were irreversible
We were complete
We were beautiful
Our love was beautiful
