you are the white in my eyes
the blood in my veins
you are everywhere, yet nowhere all at once
confusingly sensible
reliably unreliable
so dangerously safe
my uprising and my downfall
i mask this uncertainty with the face you wear
hidden in plain sight
so violently soft
i take what you give
stolen willingly
a thief in the night
i embrace your darkness
and revel in the light you shine
your touch, so gentle, it burns
yet i find comfort in this pain
inhuman in its humanity
they say opposites attract
and this love is nonsensical
but i'll accept what is given
for it is given by you

you are the white in my eyes
the blood in my veins
you are everywhere, yet nowhere all at once
confusingly sensible
reliably unreliable
so dangerously safe
my uprising and my downfall
i mask this uncertainty with the face you wear
hidden in plain sight
so violently soft
i take what you give
stolen willingly
a thief in the night
i embrace your darkness
and revel in the light you shine
your touch, so gentle, it burns
yet i find comfort in this pain
inhuman in its humanity
they say opposites attract
and this love is nonsensical
but i'll accept what is given
for it is given by you
i make no sense of this but make sense of you
