In The Eye Of The Beholder

7. Opposites

I'm alone in this world, but I am not lonely,

I feel ignored, but you listen closely,

I see you crying, but I offer no tissue,

Cos admitting that I miss you is my biggest issue,

See the sparkle in your eyes, the potential and hope,

Although I'm made of glass I can help you cope,

Through my own image I can shatter any second,

But I withstand the stones when you call and you beckon,

They say opposites attract but we're both the same,

I never signed up, to play in this game,

But I've got no choice, I'm in love with your name,

Cos you see so much pride in my moments of shame,

For an alcoholic drug addict, you're not that bad,

Only problem when you drink is that you get pretty sad,

I'll help you go sober, we can drink together,

Pretend your twist in fortunes is due to the weather,

I lie awake in bed, but I dream of you,

I tell myself lies in the hope that its true,

I smile although really it's a warning sign,

We can get drunk with two bottles of wine,

The answer to my wishes made my life go worse,

But I only move closer, I can't reverse,

The feeling of dread is secretly lust,

Destroying myself is a targetted must,

Opposites...
