Sweet
You say I'm sweet
but
it's you who tames
the Wild Beast.
It's no lie
until I met you
I had so much
rage deep inside,
so much anger
I couldn't hide.
Then you came along
filled my lungs
like a beautiful song,
turned something weak
into something strong,
allayed my fears,
dried my tears.
You chased away the rain
and suddenly all my
efforts ceased to feel like
they were allin vain.
Basically what I'm
trying to explain is
that having you around
made me less insane.
You who are
the beauty to my beast
the flour to my yeast
the day to my night
the savior to my plight
the right to my wrong
the sing to my song.
Now, I think you can see
where this is going
maybe next time you say
"you're so sweet"
you'll understand why
I sigh and smile
and shake my head
then we won't have
to go through this
all over again.
