Lifetime in Repeat
The sparks shoot out of her hands
And fly through her veins as their eyes meet.
A new love, a new bright yearning
For happiness and warmth and smiles.
Then one day the sparks freeze
Their eyes stop meeting and the love drifts away.
The lovers become friends become acquaintances become strangers.
His smile lights up her life
And her heart is sewn together by the laughter in his voice.
The wind rushes past them and moonlight shines
Through their eyes and hearts and tears.
He stops smiling and the light fades
Her heart breaks anew and the laughter tears into her.
The lovers become friends become acquaintances become strangers.
Her fingertips drift across her shoulders
And lightning rushes across her skin.
Caution is thrown to the wind
And memories of love and joy become realities.
But then the fingertips become fists
And the lightning becomes bruises.
The lovers become friends become acquaintances become strangers.
His voice gently lifts her heart into the sun
And her shattered pieces slowly glue together.
She watches him with love and fear and caution
And he brings her new joys and promises and freedom.
Until finally she loves again with all her heart
And the days turn into months turn into years.
And the strangers become acquaintances become friends become lovers.
