I like fiction and you prefer non-
as if creative writing
was just another example of people lying,
wrong that’s been done you in real life
you won’t invite back in, even by reading.
But, maybe I could show you there’s a difference
between being artistic and deceiving.
And you could convince me there’s value
in historical narrative and facts
like a class I’d normally sleep through.
Yeah, I’m boring and you’re wild
but couldn’t we meet somewhere in between
the way black and white on opposite ends of color
mix to form a scale of grey’s and a world of options?
You speak College
in adult language and drinking games
of truth or dare.
I speak High School
through mix tapes and darting stares
you were supposed to understand
just because we both have eyes and breasts.
But who’s to say you’ll never learn
to decode my non-verbal cues
Or that I won’t graduate to being more direct?
Yes, I’m a sedative and you are a stimulant
that never stays in one place long.
But, my depression’s got a crush on your anxiety
and wants to hold it still,
then kiss it away like a skinned knee.
Yeah, we’re different.
But, in a lot of ways,
we’re just two square pegs in a room full of circles.
Some days I feel we’re polar opposites,
other times I’d swear
we were torn from the same cloth
people tried to set on fire for being stained.
So why shouldn’t you and I love each other
like misfit toys that have given up waiting for Santa?
Like an deviant picture of perfect
no one’s had the chance to see? _________________ shemovesme.wordpress.com

Hmmmm... cause opposites may attract but it doesn't mean they stay together. Too much constant decoding and checking on what the other ACTUALLY meant! But as always, I love the way you put it down Brach.
