Poem-A-Day Challenge Volume 2 - September 2017 Challenge

You and I (__Natsu__) (c)

You and I

I dive into the abyss chasing stars

While you keep me rooted in the dirt

Reminding me failure comes first

Before I venture out too far

Yet you keep me after I learned the verse

Ensuring I'd never become a star

But we can not split the blame

For you and I are the same

I perceive life in black and white

While you dream in luscious hues

It could never change my views

Of the world that never does me right

With every sense a geyser spews

Onto a broken canvas no longer white

But we can not split the blame

For you and I are the same

You accept the shell that we've been given

While I lash out and try to break

The image you have that is "fake"

Since I don't see what's no longer hidden

For I am asleep while you are awake

Yet a second thought is never given

But we can not split the blame

For you and I are the same

You yearn for the warmth of love

While I drown in a downpour of tears

For love is what fuels my fears

Of never flying like a dove

That knows the end is near

As the fire dies fragile ashes remind me of our love

But we can not split the blame

For you and I are the same
