How often have we been taught
To look to the sky for fireworks
For something to make the kiss miraculous
Because all we want are present day princes
To make New Year resolutions
And find our independence
All we want is a lasting spark
A growing flame
Preferably something with a BIG BANG to lead us out the dark
To place an entire sun at the end of tunnel
And not just the flicker of a candle
Because we want it to burn the same
How often do we look to the sky for fireworks
Hardly hearing godly words
Behind the infatuation
Behind the fairy tale connotations
Placed on touch of hand
On fragile embrace
On poison apple lips
That give such a sweet taste
How often have we been taught
That a feeling should be defined by a sign
So we look to the sky and wait for a meaning
Hoping to see
To feel fireworks
But let me tell you how fire works
Sometimes there will be more smoke than clouds
Sometimes you'll drown in the fumes
Where you can't tell the difference between the heat of pain and passion
Between the dream and the smell of gasoline
Lit by matches attempting to keep the spark alive
Sometimes we can't restore each other
Sometimes you won't replenish each other's thirst
In a house with emotions made of dry wood
Scorched beyond recognition
As we look to the sky searching for what feels missing
Sometimes memories of the past return
No matter how much you try to burn the familiar away
Or convince yourself to stay
The flames will stand taller than you sometimes
So how will you confront them
With only sweat and tears as weapons
Used against wildfires that plan to leave you wide open with nothing
But sometimes prayers for rain will be answered
When you've crawled near edge with no wings to carry soul above trees
Water will flow
Just in time to clear vision and remove toxins
As you realize how important beginning again will sometimes mean
Burning it all down
There will be more smoke than clouds
More black than blue sky
Because love is fire and water
What life do love burn victims have to offer after the ashes
When the broken don't always rise like the Phoenix
We can write messages in the dirt
To remind each other in the following chapters
How the hurt is never meaningless
So how do we start over together
And heal individually
What will we see when we look towards the sky
As we grab each other's hands
What will be the sign that gives us reason
When you've already been through the fire
And you've finally found all the meaning
