Love Is The Greatest Illusion

we are two cars colliding
heading different ways
we are sidewalks and road signs
a perfect company
we are beaches and traffic
looming, intertwined
we are two foreign languages
conversing with a flame

we are two hills of snow and sand
caving in to sink
we are faces of love and shame
no compatibility
we are stars, we are sunrise
together in the sky
we build bridges and burn rivers
scalding the ones we love
