only the beginning...

[x_in_me_x]

Most of you know me,
Some of you don't.
I'm the voice that says "do it"
I'm the conscious that won't.
I'm the footprints in black
On the side of the road
I'm the sanity that's balanced
On the top of your load.
I'm the lady in red,
The mistress in black.
I'm the love that you want,
The love that you lack.
I'm the Heavens above
And the fire below,
I'm the one that you need,
But you'll never know.
I'm you without me,
A sad little fate
I'm the girl in the corner
The one with no date.
I'm the one drop of blood
That falls from your wrist.
I'm the first priority
On the bottom of the list.
I'm the stairway of darkness
I'm the ladder to death,
I'm the drug you admire,
Not cocaine or meth.
I'm the shadow you seek,
The air that you breath.
I'm the heart that is shallow
And worn on your sleeve.
I'm the entire planet
Rolled up in one girl,
I'm the essence, the fragance,
The entire world.
I'm france and I'm Norway
Three languages I speak.
I'm the contacts you wear
Because your vision is weak.
I'm the one you will follow
In your times of need.
I won't lift you or carry you,
You have your own feet.
I'll push you and tempt you
Until you can't take anymore.
I'll make you cry
And run to death's door.
I'm the girl that you love
But can't stand to be with.
I'm just a legend,
A ghost or a myth.
I'm the one that you've known about
All of your years
I carried you when you
Were consumed by your fears.
I told you I loved you
And kissed your sweet face.
I then broke your heart
Now I'm all over the place.
I'm the reflection you can't stand to see
Because like I said,
I'm you without me.
