PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

We started out on fire, burning at both ends
We were fueled by our desire, chasing in the wind
But we were quick to fade into the night
We were just too fast to last through life

I was reaching for forever
You were only passing time
I was hoping we be tethered
For all the time we were alive
You were only seeking solace
From the darkness in your mind
We both were craving closeness
In the emptiness of life

We were only touch and scent
Pheromones and endorphins

We'd faded into memory
Nothing left to be seen
You only came back when you felt the emptiness
I always managed to give in, and let you right back in
We'll never be more than what we've been
And we'll both have to accept it

We're only touch and scent
Pheromones and endorphins

I wanted touch, a chance to feel
A love I always knew was real
But you and I were just scent and touch in the end
Pheromones and endorphins

I wanted lasting, strong, and true
I wanted lasting love with you
But we were only scent and touch in the end
Pheromones and endorphins

We could run forever, far from where the other lies
We could chase the never, that'll always be there in the night
There's nothing left between us now, but touch and scent
Pheromones and endorphins

I wanted touch, a chance to feel
A love I always knew was real
But you and I were just scent and touch in the end
Pheromones and endorphins

I wanted you, I wanted us
I want to feel more than your touch
But we're just touch and scent

I wanted lasting, strong, and true
I wanted lasting love with you
But we were only scent and touch in the end
Pheromones and endorphins

You want freedom from all ties
You want someone there in the night
So, we're just pheromones and endorphins

It's just a matter of pure physics
Chemicals exist between us
There's nothing here that more intrinsic
Just two animals in lust

We're only scent and touch as this ends
Pheromones and endorphins
