teeter without totter...or is it the other way around

 

He digs my darkness
says it enhances His own
our demons not only compatible
but complimentary
the way fire needs oxygen
to maintain the flame
and for combustion
but He recently asked

when writing of us
it's all softness & passion
but when you speak of yourself
it comes out dark
painful & harsh
why is that


forcing myself to meet His gaze
I never hide my eyes from Him
we have that agreement
He can't understand my feelings
if He can't see them
my reply came quietly
the softest of whispers

it's not the same
when I write of you
I write with love


and He frowned down at me
His face a mask of unbearable sadness

but that's madness
how can you shower me with so much compassion
speak with such incredible devotion
filling your expression with amazing emotion
regarding us as a pairing
but not give yourself equal caring
don't you see
you're part of the equation
baby, this pattern isn't balanced
we gotta level the field
and change how you view
you
