Opaque

Give me your life, your light, your consequence.

I'll determine if you do, in fact, get a pass.

For love, what it is you want from this,

decides, truly, if it lasts.

I'm a product of deception, 

lord knows I love a lie.

A secret, and a challenge, but still look me

straight dead in the eye.

If you offer to me clemency, 

accept me as I am,

decide my moral merkiness 

is, in fact, instead, a gem.

Well, I'll give to you my whole heart,

undivided and untamed.

Not a stutter or a start,

but an oasis, yet unclaimed.

Tell me, truly, could you love me?

Peaks and valleys, climbs and falls...

I will always be a challenge, 

but a reward, both great and small. 

Let me see you, let me know you, 

just please promise me the same. 

I'm a shadow of a person, 

shining vibrant through the grey.
