Duality

You are the flame I die to keep alive and burning
You are the earth that stabilises my yearning
You are the wind I've trapped to dry my tears away
You are the water I try to hold in my hand to keep my life's drought at bay

You are the sun that fills the dark corners of my room with sunshine
Reminding me of everything in the world that can be mine
It's the corners of my room where I hide
But it's your light that makes me visible to the outside

I am the rock that chains you to the bottom of the sea
Stopping you from breathing until all you see is me
Forcing you to face the dark floor of the ocean
Making you drink my toxic, deadly potion

I am the shooting star that makes you wish with hopeful eyes
But I fall down to nowhere, changing your wishes to nothing but fake lies
You are the reflected moon in the lake to lift my slumbering soul up high
Giving me everything you can, despite all rules that you defy

You are the dried up maple leaf that falls down to collect my tears
But I am the rope that forces you to enter your fears
That you are everything good to me but I'm the one who brings you down
I am the bandit who makes you surrender your crown

You are a sacred book I carry with me at all times
But I slam you closed once you stop confessing my crimes
Here's the way our lives are goin, struck by this harsh duality
But there's a difference between you and me, for I lack morality

// So, this one up here is another collaborated work between me and The Fragile Rose . This one is the second so far.. Suddenly we started writing this while chatting!! :P .. We sure had a crazy time - me getting disconnected from my stupid net all the time- But somehow we went through all that... and .... There it is... :)
