you and me;
we're grey area.
we're matches
before they're lit.
we're gasoline
before it's spilled.
we're words left unspoken.
we're subjects left untouched.

you and me;
we're dark matter.
we're blackholes,
unknown and frightening.
we're stardust,
lost and scant.
we're the calm before the storm.
we're the darkness before the dawn.

our hearts;
they beat in harmony
like the wings of a butterfly.
so gentle and innocent,
undoubtedly unaware
of the hurricane miles away.

our eyes;
they swallow one another
like they don't know better.
so fast and unforgiving,
binging and purging,
eating feelings as if they were pastries.

you and me;
we're grey area.
we're the comfort
of not knowing.
we're the benefit
of the doubt.
we're hearts left unscathed.
we're misery left unfound.
