My Grey

You are the gravity that has always kept me grounded

but I never gave a second thought.

You’ve never abandoned me

But I only remember your presence when I fall.

You are my Northern Star leading me to my own Bethlehem.

Guiding me to my glory,

A glory you believe in more than me.

You are the serpent in my Garden of Eden

Persuading with temptation and desire.

You are my guilty pleasure

And my most trusted confidant.

You played so many roles in my life that I’ve lost count.

You’ve been such a constant;

I often overlook calculating you into my life.

My oblivion was finally disrupted by the frustration of my subconscious

It constantly drew me to you

But I never felt its gravitational pull so it pulled harder,

Till my mind could no longer hide our bond under a rug of rationalization.

My body became more impulsive around you.

Caught between a battle of reason and desire my mind grew wild.

You became the guru of my happiness

A safe haven from my woes

A scale, measuring my morality and pleasure

You are the gravity that has always kept me grounded

But I never gave a second thought.

You’ve never abandoned me

But I only remember your presence when I fall.

You are my Northern Star leading me to my own Bethlehem.

Guiding me to my glory,

A glory you believe in more than me.

You are the serpent in my Garden of Eden

Persuading with temptation and desire.

You are my guilty pleasure

And my most trusted confidant.

You are the grey to my black and white world.

You are my vacation destination that distracts me from all my woes

You are the constant that varies in roles

You are the last person I expected to reach my soul

You are the friend I hope to always know
