Temperate

temperature

I love the heat but not always the fire

I hate the pain but I do love the pleasure

so we cannot be one without the other

we know we cannot banish the shadows

 

but somewhere in the middle

though,

there is a pure happiness in between,

 all of the ecstasy and the horror

there lies a kingdom between two prisons

 and this place is heaven

you might already be there

you may have already left 

but you can come back

stay as long as you can
