Contrast

I love the light and I live in the dark.

From Yin to Yang I've lost the balance

Of loving myself as much as I love you.

I hold on to what you cut off ages ago

And I can only wish it was as easy for me

To forget the beauty of a friendship past.

I've yielded the high ground as you

Choose to be high on the broken

Promises to always stick together.

Our pacts are broken and

Our covenants compromised.

It takes all I have not to be bitter.

If only I could give you some of my love

So that we could be on equal footing and

I wouldn't drown as I reach for you.

Yet the imbalance continues.

I am the dark and you are my light.

I'm the reason you can shine bright.
