What You Are

by @gossamer-2

I I wish I’d seen it sooner, you are parallax, Your lipstick fooled me for so long, you catalyst, You trapped me in my own heart, you are Calypso, I kept my fears hidden behind a mental citadel, You tore it down, your touch was selcouth, But only to me, you were too beautiful, you are kalopsia II Even your fingernails lied, you are kalopsia, I shouldn’t come down from cloud nine, this parallax Should’ve been more apparent, not selcouth, Not how I thought it, you are TNT, a catalyst, You demolish with your winks, even my citadel Fell before you, but you still kept me in, you are Calypso. III Tell everyone you’re real, you are Calypso, You are not a myth, you are simply kalopsia, A breathtaking lie, you didn’t need a citadel, Nobody could break you anyway, you are parallax, But you’re evil at all angles, you are the catalyst Of all things lonely, this no longer feels selcouth. IV You are kalopsia, the gorgeous catalyst. You are parallax, wrecking citadels. You are not selcouth; you are Calypso.
