Since I have known you, I have longed to ask,
Where it is that your loyalties lie?
You are so captivating, so breath taking
Yet, I cannot decide what it is that you are
Your words are light and sweet
Such a treat to hear
As you whisper them in my ear
Your heart is golden
You yourself are pure as snow
You are a flower
Perfumed sweetness spill from your petals
You hold me so tight and so dear
I never have fear when you are near
You radiate warmth
Saving me from the coldness of the world
Offering refuge in your humble abode
You protect me and love me
But as you hold me, you choke me
Your golden heart bleeds black
Your eyes of green hold so much mean
Your words as light and sweet as they are,
Leave a sour taste in my mouth
They bite back as I drink them in
The perfume of your petals is a poison
I fall into the void as the smell reaches me
Your warmth scorches to the touch
You love me and then you burn me
You have saved me from the world
Only to torture me yourself
Oh, to be tortured by you
You dry the tears that you have caused
I ask you
I implore you
Just what are you
Be thee an angel
Or be thee a devil?
You comfort as you hurt
Love as you hate
You have a halo
But your wings are darkened by the shadows you lurk in
Why do you hurt me?
As you tell me you love me so
You cannot be so wonderful
And cause so much grief
But I cannot place you
You are neither an angel
Nor a devil
Too much contradiction
Lies within your complex
To say for sure
Perhaps I may have judged you unfairly
I demand from you an absolute
Absolute good
Or
Absolute evil
I demand this of you unjustly
In a world of gray
I ask you to be black or white
I do not allow of you your mistakes
There are too many flecks of dirt
On your whitened frock
Are you an angel?
Or a devil
Nye
You are neither
I have forgotten
You are but
HUMAN
