YOU (the song of opposites)

 

You

(the song of opposites)

I gave you sun

You gave me rain

I gave you pleasure

You gave me pain.

I gave you day

You gave me night

I gave you peace

You gave me fright.

You say you love me

But you don't care

You want me here

But you're not there.

Everyone wants you

And loves you, it's true

But you don't love anyone

The way you love you.

The world is your garden

But you are a thorn

That demanded all worship

The day you were born.

But you lost my love

That you thought would last

When I saw who you were

When you took off your mask.

And I backed away

Off the path I had trod

You're no longer my angel

And you're not my god.

For love is for giving

Not stealing and theft

Not raking and robbing

Till there's nothing left.

And that's what you've done

Given nothing but grief

A mastermind of high crime

But you're just a thief.

Like Narcissus of legend

Gazing long at the pool

At the image reflected

At the face of a fool.
