Love Poem: The Choice

The Choice

I'm like the ocean
 You're the shoreline
 Every time I get close 
 You push me away
 
 Our minds are like distopias
 We're different but the same
 Our stories may be different 
 But we both have an uncontrollable flame

 And our spirits are like dragons
 For we cannot be tamed
 We pull and push away from each other
 We're scared of our own pain

 But im not scared of you
 And you're not scared of me
 We're just afraid of what we feel
 I try to pretend I'm tough
 
 But deep down I know
 My heart isn't made of steel
 And no matter how hard I try
 These feelings for you cannot be killed
 
 I'm like a leaf
 And you're the wind
 I will go where you take me
 
 You hold the hammer of destruction
 And the key to my heart, 
 You can either
 Unlock me or Break me
 
 I'm fragile like clay
 And your holding my crumbled form
 You can either
 Destroy me or Reshape me
 
 You're like a warrior 
 Who's haunted by his past
 Like Beauty and The Beast
 Your time is a rose in a glass
 
 I hold the ice of betrayal 
 And the Fire of love
 I can either 
 Stab you or Warm you

 You're ripped apart like paper
 And I'm holding whats left of you
 I can either 
 Recycle you or Form you
  
 We both have a choice...
 To Cherish each other 
 Or Banish each other
