Gitâ

Sometimes you ask me
Why I'm so quiet
I hardly talk about love
Nor do I live smiling by your side

You think of me all the time
You consume me, spit me out, leave me
Maybe you don't understand
But today I'll show you

I'm the light of the stars
I'm the color of the moon
I'm the things in life
I'm the fear of love

I'm the fear of the weak
The strength of imagination
The bluff of the player
I am, I was, I will be

I'm your sacrifice
The wrong way sign
The blood in the vampire's gaze
The vows of damnation

I'm the candle that lights up
I'm the light that fades
I'm the edge of the abyss
I'm everything and nothing

Why do you ask me?
Questions won't show you
That I'm made of earth
Of fire, water, and air

You have me all day
But you don't know if it's good or bad
But know that I'm in you
But you're not in me

From the tiles I'm the roof
The fisherman's catch
The letter 'A' has my name
From dreams I'm love

I'm the homemaker
In the world's hustle and bustle
I'm the hand of the executioner
I'm shallow, wide, and deep

I'm the fly in the soup
The shark's tooth
I'm the eyes of the blind
And the blindness of vision

I'm the bitterness of the tongue
The mother, the father, and the grandfather
The child that hasn't come yet
The beginning, the end, and the middle
