We sung to people who passed
We drew in toxic gases
So briefly did it all last

I taught him how, he taught me how not to
He played my favourite song
He gave me such a gift, for i was given selfworth,
He held me up so strong

I felt so alive as he ran his icy
fingers through my hair
He lifted me up, we were so high
He was a finding so incredibly rare

I couldn't turn you away
you were the first i let into my heart
How childish i am, for that night
it was i who tore my soul apart

So i hope you learn to fly
my beautiful Butane Boy
Cos with your gentle touch, you gave me wings,
which the others were quick to destroy

They found our affair so corrupt
How could i be so naive
You struck my life like lightning
i'm just grateful i love to grieve

You left me bewildered, though im fortunate
for the sincerity you allowed me to know
Your song will play with out end
as will the heartache of letting go [comments] => 1 [counter] => 191 [topic] => 22 [informant] => StAiN [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )
