The Harmony of Symmetry by Melodie Yvonne

The harmony of symmetry alleviates anxiety
unlike the crooked pictures that need straightened
and here I sit without you drooping low and all askew
like a worthless piece of trash that you’ve degraded

I don’t know how to turn around your eyes so they will see
this perfect mirror image that is here for you in me
but know that I am with you in your heart where I will stay
until the day my heart has died and turns your soul away

I wanna know just what to do and how to make you see me too
but love is blind and blindingly it binds you
You shined a light into my dark and gave me just a little spark
that undid all the certainties that I knew

Now my mind is full of mazes bouncing round inside its cages
Walled reflections make my eyes see you in echoes
Beautiful reverberations making musical creations
matches my heart with your ever-changing tempos

I don’t know how to turn around your eyes so they will see
this perfect mirror image that is here for you inside me
but know that I am with you in your heart where I will stay
until the day your heart has died and turns my soul away
