Give me the meeting; fleeting and everlasting. Your eyes like a treehouse home. 

    Give me the feeling of new and hope; give me a sneaky look and suppressed desire, give me the electric current as fingertips meet: brief. 

             There's a beauty to the map of despair etched into your dancing veins / thumb / thumb / like the beat of my heart, in my feet, in my hands, when you look at me: in love (idiom).

          A burning flame, catching fire, a breath; straight from the mouth of the dragon: destruction (noun). A sense of self. You. Destroying me, Mending me; us; born to die.

     Give me the love (noun) [unrequited]; /delete/

     Give me the love (noun)

                               I'm sorry I went there, I'm sorry for my bruised and battered 

                                                        heart

      Burn it down, burn it all, burn my bridges; all evidence: gone. 

           Kids in a treehouse, we play, the game is simple / innocence. (Nostalgia [everything ends])

    Jump. A step: life defining (the end)

          The echo of your skin etched into me; you're gone.

          Give me the story of a lover destroyed: the one with your ghost still at the bottom of my stairwell; the one with the tea-black-with-two-sugars-please; the one with Mendelssohn at 2 am. 

                 The one where the dragon tries to move on and burns himself. And you're the prince that shouldn't be allowed passing, or maybe you're the hero; sharp weapons, superiority, superior: I lose. The one where I never stood a chance.

                                                                     (There's a cut on the inside of your right thumb; white scar; mark of another time: [without me])

     Give me the one where you're back; the one of words unspoken, a burning touch of your hands on my forearm, the one with the betrayal that can't be forgotten: the one where I don't know if you've won or I've lost, and none of it matters anyway.

       Then give me the gun and the self destruction; give me the fresh bullet wound near your heart, mine on my shoulder: we match [poetry is written about that]

          Give me the "I'm sorry."

      Give me the promise; the kiss; the way your mouth tastes of tea-black-with-two-sugars-please: [home]

          Take off your shirt: the scar of your thumb is here; a reminder of another time (don't leave me again)

               Let me touch your skin and mend: I am the dragon, so, and you are the hero; chaos and calm; "I love you."

                                                                                                   "I love you, I love you, I love you, I love  

                                                                                          you, I love you, I love you, I love..."

                                                                                                                                                [stay.]

                                                                                                                            (I promise.)

      Don't give me the happily ever after: give me the treehouse and the tea with two sugars and the bullet wound / give me the dragon if you must, it's fine: I've got the hero, too.
