Zugzwang
By
Nathan
Caleb Camerer
You
are like a flower
You’re
the rose
Complete
with petals and thorns
Makes
me hesitant to grab you,
But
you grabbed me first
At
home in you
Like
a shark in the sea,
But
even a shark can drown in the sea
Hold
me still and see what happens
You’re
such a beautiful thing
I
should have known you’d break my heart
My
life has become a dress rehearsal,
But
for a show that’ll never open
No
bright lights and flashbulbs
Running
out of moves to make
Zugzwang
It
doesn’t matter
Not
unhappy,
But
sad
It’s
become my nature
Sad
can be beautiful,
But
not sadness
The
past is gone
The
future is not here
Living
in the present
With
the scars of your thorns in my hands
Salt
in my lungs
Passion
is a funny thing
Zugzwang
My
life got more complicated when you came into it
Life
as I knew it is over
Never
to return
Trying
to learn to walk and talk again
I
just want you in my life
It
makes it more delightful
I
don’t know what you want me to be
There
are places I’ll never go again
Without
you it’s not as much fun
Zugzwang
A
complete accident
A
freak occurrence
Enjoy
my heart
The
one you stole from me
Leaving
me these salt filled scars
