Opposite Sides of the Spectrum

He has always had me from day one,
With the way his dark eyes look at me
From across the room. You try to fight
For my attention just like the bright sun
Does with the moon. I know I could see
The waves rolling in, but the dark night
Is taking over too. Everything is going
To be crashing and burning soon, but I
Crave the calmness of everything too.
Darling, I do not want to be knowing
Who is going to be the first one to cry
And be mad when one or both of you
Cannot have me completely. I wish
That it could be that easy to choose,
But my heart is pulling me in separate
Directions, my insides on a Petri dish
And the bottom of my favorite shoes
Sticking to the floor, picking fate
Over destiny because it is brighter.
My heavy weights feeling lighter.
