Oil and Water

Oil and water

never combined

you and I,

we were the same


 

I reacted to your words

and your voice negatively


 

I rested on top of your world

but I was a burden


 

I still stayed

because sometimes

we felt as one

and in those highs

I felt fine


 

we smiled

we were fine


 

those times kept me nearby

but was it really worth it?


 

Oil and water

never combined

you and I,

we were the same

    I won’t stop for life or death

    I’ll keep going

    going

    pitiful laughs and lies

    and joys and cries

    and love and skies

    that are most breathtakingly

    blue


     

    I know

    the good and sad

    the ugly and bad

    the boiling mad
