This is a deadly game
This is a poisonous gamble
This is unwarranted passion
This is crazy obsession
And yet you choose me
Amidst all that chaos within me
That hurts you when it shows
Amidst all my flaws you love me
You are a bright flame
Warm and passionate
Fierce and boisterous
A raging beacon of beauty in the darkness
I am that darkness
Cold and unmoving
Dead and restrained
A chaotic enigma hidden in your shadows
I am around you
But I cannot touch you
And yet you shine for me
You choose to love me
No matter how much we try
No matter what we do
Light can never banish the darkness
And darkness can never touch the light
But here you are
Loving the darkness in me
Because you exist to need me
Because light must shine amidst the dark
And darkness must help the light shine
An odd combination
The two of us
And yet you're in love with me
And I with you
They may say its wrong
But who the hell cares
Because I feel its right
Even if we are never alike

Just blowing off some steam.
Finally, some vacation from school
What to do? What to do?
Thanks for reading!
