the brightest of crimsons

maybe you don't see it

and maybe you don't care enough to

but you drive me crazy

I've told you too many times

maybe you believe in the good in me

but there's also an obsessed darkness

and you don't see the entire canvas

and I can't show you the paints

but they swirl in a pool of bloodied jealousy

mixed with my pitiful tears

and the charcoal in my heart

is what highlights my Muse

so forgive me if you find me

too dark, too bitter

too beautiful, too obsessive

too altruistic, too vain

too critical, too much for you.

my passion for you

may be fleeting, for the eons to come

may be worthless, for you may shun it

eventually, you might as well

because you are in fact aware of it

but believe me when I say

that you cannot comprehend it

maybe it's because

my passion for you

is colored the brightest of crimsons.
