You are a flame in the dark, ugly and beautiful
You are a flame in the dark, ugly and beautiful,
A labyrinth of contradictions, a dance in dissonance.
You are a rose with thorns, so beautiful yet painful,
A girl with angel eyes, innocent and yet perverse.
You are a mystery, an enigma shrouded in mist,
A puzzle with thousands of pieces, a challenge slipping from my lips.
You are a bittersweet temptation, a lure I cannot resist,
Like forbidden dessert, I crave you even when your presence insists.
You are a dream, a fantasy from which I cannot wake,
A nightmare full of fear, a maze I cannot escape.
You are heaven and hell, a world where I lose and find myself,
You are the sun and the moon, light and darkness, together yet apart.
You are a love, a passion consuming me like an unquenchable fire,
You are a hate, a fury driving me mad like an endless wind.
You are my life, the dawn that awakens me each day,
You are my death, the dusk that envelops me in night without remorse.
You are everything to me, you are the universe in a single being,
And yet you are nothing, the void swallowing me without hesitation.
You are all I've ever dreamed, you are all I've ever wanted to be,
And yet you are nothing, just an illusion spinning me in circles.
You are my ugly and beautiful thing, my beloved contradiction,
You are my world in black and white, you are my unwritten story.
I love you with all my being, I love you with every breath,
I love you for what you are, for what you are not, for all eternity.
