Contradictions!

 

Beneath the sway of ocean waves,

A sea of contradictions paves.

Untraveled roads in silence lay,

As divergent paths lead us away.

 

You bask in hues of azure's grace,

While I seek solace in dark space.

Your love for berries sweet and bright,

Contrasts with my bitter, moonless night.

 

Your eyes alight with sunlight's gleam,

While shadows cloud my every dream.

To the world, you're joy's epitome,

Yet in my eyes, no Fauntleroy, you be.

 

You wear whites and roseate hue,

While I'm draped in black, askew.

Your attire pressed with perfect care,

Mine, crumpled in disheveled air.

 

Your smile, a set of pearls so fine,

Mine, a curve tinged with pain's design.

You dance with grace, without a stumble,

While I falter, in doubt, I crumble.

 

You were my dawn, my dusk, my all,

Leaving me adrift, lost in my thrall.

You were my joy, my sorrow's song,

Leaving me with shadows long.

 

In the mirror's void, I see,

Reflections of what used to be.

You, my sea of contradiction,

I, a life adrift in fiction.

 

How I yearn to turn back time,

Escape this realm of woe and crime.

A life of fears, of interdiction,

Living in contradiction's benediction.
