Mountains /// Love


You thought love was interminable, a solid state that stays formidable

Compare it to a mountain range; its vast, expansive, subject to change

It isn't worth climbing, but it never will be.

 

I don't pull myself up precipitations, to sit alone in contemplation.

I was hoping I might meet another climber, it appears I found something finer

Their soul runs deeper than any miner, composed only by a divine designer

I lost my mind while up the mountain, years went by but time stopped counting

All I have is another explorer, incandescent, I do adore her

One day we will return, engulfed in flames that never burn

 

And all i'll hold is someone else's heart, and pray they'll keep mine in part

We'll watch the others attempt to climb and wonder what creatures they might find

A desolate land with foreign faces or another heart to replace the spaces.

Everyone has holes their past abandoned

Tired muscles and worn out tendons

And miles away in fields of solitude, dizzy heads from all the altitude

I know now that mountains are callous, dark and cold

But worth the view, to find another soul.
