An Ode to Someone (I'd Started to Love)

Nothing's always as it appears to be; You are you, and I am me.

Although we may not see the same, a spark had once lit aflame.

As a candle burns, it melts away; we knew the flame may be killed someday.

Diluting all I thought I knew, I forced our flame to subdue.

Here upheaval began to rise; I couldn't look you in the eyes.

At this point all I can really say, I wish we could've loved a better way.

Wax and wick forever changed; Two different worlds, with views exchanged.

'Cause I'm ten feet deep, and you're near the surface;

We have a different vision when it comes to purpose.

Mine is not that easy to convey... I try to muster it up, only finding ways to say,

That it's not something I can put into words. See, even if I wanted, it has plenty reserves.

My tongue tries to barter, but I bite down harder.

This never was within my control; I cannot dig you a deeper hole.

But if you ever find yourself in deep blue,

Part of me that's dormant is yearning for you.
