What I Am To You

Winter leaves but you’re here to stay…
The one I loved – you are my prey…

The walls before me shake 
A back so bare can slowly break…
I can hear the cracks and the ones in your voice,
But the fate He gave – it’s not my choice,

I can talk but words cover my voice
To the people I hate – to the people I love,
These words I speak – they are just noise…

I can paint my fingers and color your soul-
I could give you my arms 
I could give you my love…
These rules that your peers had start’
Two different hearts,
Each parted; two different parts.

I can give you a kingdom,
I could give you the sun…
But with a person like me?
What am I to you? What do you see?

Who am I?
A question you’d have to ask…
But with stupidity like yours,
You’re in the middle of the sea and I am at shore.
I am at the mountain peak which you cannot see,
I am.
I am a wonder you won’t solve! 
This mind of yours, this soul and heart,
With me it can evolve-
But with the rules you have,
And an ego as a shield,
With a mind like that…
True love is what you cannot feel…
