Jars
by Phoenix

Sirens scream like the sight of you
you got me jarred like a fire fly
but u aint takin prisoners
I think if you could have me
without having me
you would have me all the same
so i am writing this for you for me
because if I didn't
your electricity could haunt me forever
rain drops like knowledge
between our silent breaths
and smiles is conversation
vicariously vandalizing my soul
through your eyes
my bare feet kiss cold concrete
my fingertips ascertain your lips
as you sing your line breaks for the last time
even my tears are poetic
as lines of poetry stream down your face
as you turn to your umbrella and walk away

today I understand feelings
are too big to be jarred
