This bulb is faulty.
It produces the wrong kind of light.
We don't want to break it, we still made it,
So we'll set it over here,
With the other malfunctioning bulbs.
Your heart glitters across my vision
Your short sentences make sense to me,
beyond the metaphors of others' speech
You make sense, straightforward and easy
Why does everything have to be hard?
The white and dark of our shadows don't cancel out,
Rather they blend into dimmer grey, or brighter gray
You enhance me, I dull myself down and together
We paint in marvelous, monochromatic greyscale
A picture of metaphors other people don't understand.
You blink knowingly at me, unknowingly
You smile at the right times to reassure me you haven't forgotten how.
I'm blind, blinded by your light and I've stayed reeling for weeks.
I'm lost, frantically trying to escape my mind's view of you
And I can't, because you keep pulling me back.
Harsh, this light strikes my eyes
This pounding in my head the metronome of everything that's good
I want to scream despite my throbbing head
"I love you, I love you, I think I always have."
Can the world still go round without this consistent rhythm?
I take flight and revel in this feeling high above the clouds
The thinning air and fear of falling nothing but a passing notion
While I'm tumbling towards the ground, Back to you.
Always I fall back to you, the lighthouse to my way home
Your blue shines brilliantly and leads me exactly where I want to go
Data entry 9-5 desk job heads shine gold
They bathe each other in brilliant warm rays of love
The warmth feels suffocating, I'm melting, burning, scalding
From the heat of a million busy bees, all golden yellow
Until a gentle wave of blue washes the noise away
The cool toned water is a refreshing change of pace
Suddenly my gills and my scales make sense
I was born to swim, born to follow a tide
The business of their gold-plated lives
And making honey doesn't suit me like it does them.
To you, my dear, your life has always been this blue.
I've been dancing in a pair of gold and suede shoes
Cosplaying as their reflections and what they wish i could be
Yes, my light is blue like yours, brilliant as can be
Though my blood is warm, my heart beats cool and just for you
The world is full of people with glasses that block blue light
They don't see what I do when they look at you,
Only the yellow shimmers that bounce off your hair
And the flecks of gold in your leather-brown eyes
Not the complex azure hues where it matters
In a mirror, the world's colors all come together
Your Blue, and mine, surrounded by dazzling warm
A sharp contrast, and a likely pair everyone loves
Our reflections dance inside, right where they belong
And shone in my blue eyes, your light beside mine
