MADE FROM LIGHTNING

BUBBLING LOVE

E1 bubbler, You drive me wild, You cause my blood to boil. You sit on your pedestal, Watching us all, As if you’re somebody royal.

we were made from lightning, with sparks of cosmic interconnectedness in our irises and static electricity burning in our tongues like charcoal.

each touch was as searing hot as branded skin, and i welcomed that warmth with open arms; at apart, we were nothing, but together, we were whole.

So many times, I’ve reached out to you,

Just wanting a nice cold drink. But instead, you’ve attacked,

we let our love consume us, and then we fell as quickly as each strike of light that travels down the earth to its core.

Leaving me vulnerable, Forced to accept defeat.

and we burnt everything in our path, because lighting is nothing more than a chemical reaction.

One day, I hope, You find someone new,

Someone you can really trust, Because I’m done with you now, I’ve found someone else, Someone who is caring and just. Now, I’m with them, I’m finally free, My heart is beating full throttle. They follow me everywhere, Watching my back, My hot pink water bottle.

CALCULATED LOVE

Some people hate you, but I love you. You give me extra homework And you always have a problem Your best friend is a calculator And a pen and paper

GEORGIA LYTRAS (10B)

The way you word your problems, makes me think hard and long You come in many different forms; Algebra, fractions and more I hope the love I share is mutual. If only someone could love me in the way I love maths!
