You Are Wonderland

If darkness and brilliance could change their ways You'd be my shadow on the brightest of days. My shelter from sun, while they drink lemonade With creamy, pale skin as I cool in your shade. If bitter and sweetness changed definition, What I love is your vinegar-like disposition In a world full of sugar you have the right nip, That waters my eyes with the tiniest sip. If coldness and warmth could swap what they mean You'd be the winter, a sub-zero scene. Cooling my core until all is well, While the world burns without you, forever in Hell. If heavy and light changed their meanings instead, Then you make me soar like a box full of lead, When you're not around I'd plunder like wood. If you gave me a sinking feeling, it's good. If poison and antidote were reversed in translation You'd be a black mamba, coiled in formation. Your venom would save me, as it coursed through my veins But the cure would just kill me, and leave my remains. Even if the world were upside down you'd be my inspiration. Sparking the flame, turning the wheels, helping my creations. You're the light in the dark, the shadow of day, You're the thing that makes sense when the world goes astray.
