Lithium
My brain recognizes him as lithium,
Only in his arms do I find equilibrium.
Never my thoughts does he purge,
My ideas he does converge,
So the dark is no longer so light,
He is my gray knight.
To her I am medicine.
I give her balance that is genuine.
Her conclusions I’ll never eradicate,
Only change their shape.
Bright I’ll dim so it’s no longer blinding,
But I will always keep her smiling.
When my brilliant blaze burns low,
He is a match that relights me aglow.
But when my inferno is no longer constrained,
He will douse me until I am tamed.
When ferocious flames no longer teem,
I will be quick with the kerosene.
When the warmth of her fire competes with hell,
Heat and light I will expel.
When I shift my weight,
He is ready to compensate.
When the dark drags me down,
His change of perception brings me around.
When her balance is hurled,
I will level her world.
As sinister leads her to the devils playground,
I will paint her a new background.
The world is so level through his eyes,
Every notion he conjures has a steady guise.
Teeter? I am not able,
Because like lithium he makes me stable.
Maybe she will see a straight horizon,
If stability is what my eyeglasses blazon.
Razing her constant roller coaster,
I am her lithium soldier.
