Inside

You have changed me deep inside

Pulled strings not known to either mind

Hollowed out recesses and stripped down strands

Of thought and hurt

I am the sea

And you the sand

I don't like the caves created

I don't like the fleshy strands, hanging down

I don't like the fog around my judgement

Like a thick cloud, winding it's way

A cancerous poison

A dangerous weapon

Through my core, my heart, my all

I am the waves

And you the shore

I have said things I've sworn never to say

I have hurt some people

And disquieted myself, and fallen far

Along the way

I am the night

And you the day

I've used metaphors I'd never use

I've thrown dramatics I

Now despise

I've listened to your heart

And answered mine

And cared for us in a dark pit

Where daylight freezes

In icebergs of hell

And I am the oyster

But you are the shell
