Magnolia Yang
In this world we made, lives only you and I
We are each our own profound power
You, the strong earth and I, the uncertain sky
On slow days, we lay beneath the willow bower
Hands kiss, and hold tight, Our embrace fresh
With the backdrop of a sun-kissed golden hour
Yet, sometimes you scathe my heart of flesh
Whilst I chip away at your heart of stone
And in the end, our broken pieces will enmesh
Becoming our world, a creation of its own
But as we continue to break and fall apart
Our hearts are harder to fix, forcing us to be alone
We say our final goodbyes and we depart
As our world shatters and we prepare for a new start
