Black and White

Said the girl to her lover
I wish you saw color

I'm always, you never
You rant more than ever
There's no in between
You know what i mean

His answer revealed him
A heart driven by whim

The first impression
Is now a depression
Holds the fascination
Or no concentration

To hurt to restrain it
She had to explain it

It's all pain and no gain
Once sunshine is now rain
all black night or day
There is no room for grey

She was hard to believe
Perhaps she would deceive

Those words are all lies
Just a random surprise

She reached exasperation
pleading in desperation

Not perfect, it's hellish
The extremes that you relish
Too brilliant for stupid
Too spicy for cupid

Not the girl I used to know
You hate not listen, so I'll go
He said, to wrap it up
Like a fully empty cup

My love you paint outdated
Declaring that you are hated
“You never pay attention”
This claim a new invention

Adding for good measure
Sarcasm for her pleasure

Accusations quite impressive
With the mind of a primitive
Splitting life up like a child
Extreme living is nature wild

He turned to leave
She held him by his sleeve

Fragile hopes can shatter
But that shouldn't matter
The journey holds the light
Revealing how we're alright

Are the dragons made of paper
Did we get what we paid for?
Even when our old faith fails
Loves still fills up our sails

Frozen still, he listened,
Staring
As her teary eyes glistened

Life on a pretty spectrum
Let's you get a little more some
Self-fulfill in soft color spaces
Shine light in the darkest places

Calm so you can never be
Victim of your prophesy

Extreme words fit like a noose
Let that poor neck loose
Only pray to to never be
A pawn who's never-ever free
