You come bringing chaos Because you are not like us-- And at the same time, Too much like us. That chaos you bring startles, Heals. You are the frog-prince Saviour, And I am afraid to kiss. What guarantee have I that the tables will turn? That last place won�t stay last, laughed at, then forgotten. You call me into a downward spiral, way From the light I have fostered on my own. There�s a glimpse, here and there, In the corners of my breathing, That your brand of darkness is lighter than light That down will someday be up, and I�ll wake, Startled, blinking, to find myself Crowned in light, by your side. But Can I live on these glimpses? Daydreams and wishes, my head in the clouds, Feet slowly sinking through mud. |
