Opposite

Distract me from my thoughts.
Speak on the ifs instead of nots.
Speak on the sun and not the moon
Rather the daylight instead of gloom
It's simple just do the opposite

I could use you
the way everyone uses everyone like a trade
Oh you made the sky blue
and i'm the one who brings the cloud to rain on your parade

Wish I could do the opposite

In the drawing I did of hell
you found heaven
with the words for my poetry I used to spell
you found beauty you never lessened
Thanks, you did the opposite

Wish I could have removed cuts
before they turned into scars
We were always trapped in a cell
but had knowledge to get through the bars
Now it's just the opposite

Kept you around as if you were a means to an end
when you needed help I felt my time was to precious to lend
Wanted my time when you had spare
Felt you were being needy but all you wanted was for me to show I care
I should have done the opposite.

Now you and I are the opposite
