You were bright wildflowers running through forest green fields, showering the world in sunshine, and I was the rain. I was dark nights filled with rolling thunder and electric energy, and you were peeking through the clouds with your sunbeams. Lilac skies and shady trees, I decided that purple just wasn't my color. But who could ever want a sunflower in a bush of roses? You were bright early mornings with rubbed sleepy eyes, and coffee with sugar, while I was black. Tasteless and bitter, your cheerful moods sent me spiraling, and I was grasping for the misery that always kept me company. Your words were sweet, like sugar, and left a bad taste in my mouth, like a poison I downed to drive out the sound of your voice in my head. You grew flowers inside my lungs, and although they are beautiful, I can't ******* breathe. I'm gasping for air, air, the lone reminder that I am free. I was dark hair and dark eyes, with a heart that was chained to my independence. You were so bright, and I destroyed you in fear of losing another. But this universe is vast, and this earth is small, and instead of exploding, I concaved. You should have known better darling, I'm just a black hole.
