Beautiful Cyanide

I see something beautiful in each breath you give the world,as if it's meticulously picked from your chest and handed to the air,
Your presence is my bliss and I cannot imagine this world without you
I know that makes me a hypocrite because you see the same in me,you crave my company like I am rain and you are a drought
You love someone who can count on one hand
The times she has crossed a mirror and felt love for the person reflecting
I do not see this raindrop woman,the one that lives in your eyes
And I do not understand how we bleed the same,hurt the same and love the same
But do not feel we deserve the same
Our perceptions of ourselves have become so badly distorted
That we can look at each other and fall in love with all the things we hate about ourselves
