Children

I love a boy

Against my will

Against my better judgement

Like a child

This love is too big

This world is far too big

To try and exist at all

This love makes me small

It makes me a small little girl

Reminiscent of days when my hair used to curl

And I would talk to the sage and the wind

Reminiscent of days that lasted a thousand years

And I would twirl my dress in the wind

I can’t save his soul

You make our souls glow bright

Something we never asked for

We grew accustomed to the darkness

Until you took us up in flight

Until you made us twinkle like the stars in the night

This love makes us innocent and small

In this world we tried to leave behind

Is his lost soul what it took to save mine?

You knew his soul is tethered to mine?

Grab our small hands, clasped and intertwined

And cast out our fears past the sky

The train is coming and we want to go home
