The way I see you

How delicately intertwined good and bad can be

How quickly our mind can jump from one to the next

How different a situation can make things seem


I see the good in everyone 

In everything


But in you

The one who boxed me

The one who cut my wings

The one who lashed me 

And left scars that won't cure

In you I see the darkness


I see my oppressor and my punisher 

The good fades in a second

And then the bad comes crashing like a storm


The light tries to fight the darkness

I try to see the man I love


But when all my wounds tear open at once

My blood and heart pouring from my body

I don't see the one you love

I see the one you fear
