You


You
I couldn't possibly live without you
As cliche as this sounds
I can't.I can not
All I see is a pitiful, monochrome world
Letting other words penetrate my glass heart 
Drowning alone into the abyss, screaming when no one else hears me
Desperately pulling my head to the surface
But I submerge
The sea of solitude 
Dark. Cold. Lonely.
Until you
Light and warmth 
Welcomes with open arms
You take my hand, despite the warnings
You, me to the world of brilliance 
I see alluring hues dances across my eyes gracefully
You hold me close, cordiality 
An embrace with you aches my heart
Our enemy, distance, we couldn't vanquish it
Crystals fall from my eyes, 
But your whispers, an enchantment, holding me tight
When you found me, the waves of loneliness paused, the world itself stopped in its tracks

You
You, my hope
Me became my despair 
Yet, you beg to differ
You saw passed my flaws and believed I was pure bliss
Our affections towards one another bloomed into an enternal flower, with lushes of roses and chrysanthemum wrapped around our intertwined hands
Your words, so facile, so perfect- my crave for you grows. Still

You
I can't live with you
