Words that made me feel safer
Than any arm that's ever been around me
Or any hand I've felt on my back that
Pushed me up or guided me along
Eyes like puddles of chemicals
That contained the ingredients that were
Able to neutralize the poison in mine
Traits that resembled calm seas of calamity,
Cool waters that sizzled on the firing coals
Of the volatile volcano whose unpredictable
Spouts controlled the swing of my mood
I tried so hard to tell myself that
Black and white together could make
A nice shade of grey and broken
Pieces of hearts with jagged ends
Could be put back together again and
White might just be the absence of color or
Maybe my colors completely faded and
Black might be all the colors put together
Or maybe all of your colors just stayed
