She's a deep breathe of happiness
Or at the very least
She's not sticky with the muck of sadness
I can see it now.
Why you needed them
Your light in the darkness that was my life
Your life vest in my treacherous waters
Baby, I'm the shark.
And the sad fact is
I may be made of fire
But I am no beacon of hope, light, and laughter
It doesn't make you a bad person
To not want to burn for me
Like I burn for you
This is what love looks like for me
But I am certain,
If you ask,
They'll see my shade of grey
and not just your black and white.
I release the smoke in the night,
Not the blackness itself
Think on that, if you will think on me at all.
In the mean time
Know that I finally understand
Why you needed all of them.
Some people just cannot see the middle ground. This is the shade of grey in your black and white world. Likewise, realizing my own affect on those in my life has been eye opening.
