I am a nightmare with sunlight in my eyes
and clouds in my smile.
Be wary of the raindrops lying beneath my skin
and the summer wind that flows from my mouth.
They are acid and poison
that will not be merciful in your destruction.
And when I'm done with you
you will wonder why you ever thought
I was whimsical and light.
You'll wonder why you ever embraced the kindness in my arms
and the sun in my chest.
But
you'll still crawl back for more
because nightmares are oh so intoxicatingly bitter
in the sweetness they hide themselves in.
