The You of the Me

I am your tails, you are my heads
You are my navel, and I’m your mirror
You are desire and I’m the move
You are the lemon and I’m the zest
I am the tea and you are the cup
You the guitar and I’m the bass
I am the rain, you’re my raindrops
You are the "yes" and I’m the doubt
You are the bouquet and I’m the flowers
You are the aorta and I’m the heart
You are the moment, I am the bliss
 
You are the glass and I am the wine
You are the grass and I’m the joint
You are the wind, I am the gust
You the racket and I’m the ball
You are the toy and I’m the child
You’re the old man and I am time
I’m the iris, you are the pupil
I am the spice, you the taste buds
You’re the water and I’m the mouth
You the dawn, I’m the nightfall
 
You’re the liquor, I’m drunkedness
You are the lie and I’m the sloth
You’re the cheetah, I am the speed
You are the hand, I’m the caress
I am the hell, you are the sinner
You are heaven, I am earth, hm
I am the ear for your music
I am the sunshine of your tropics
I’m the tobacco of your pipe
You’re the pleasure, I’m the lightning
You are the scale and I'm the note
 
You are the flame, I’m the matchstick
You’re the heat, I’m drowsiness
You’re lethargy and I’m the nap
You’re the freshness, I’m the shower
You’re the ass, I am the chair
You are B flat and I am B sharp
You’re the Laurel of my Hardy
You’re the solace of my sigh
You’re the moustache of my Trotsky
You’re the noises of my laughter
 
You are the song of my siren
You are the blood and I’m the vein
You’re the never of my always
You are my love, you are my love
 
I am your tails
You my heads
You my navel
And I your mirror
You are the desire and I the gesture
You’re the lemon and I the peel
 
I am the tea you are the cup
You are the whore, and I'm her trick
You are the fallen and I’m the epitaph
You the text, I’m the paragraph
You are the slip-up, I'm the blunder
You’re elegance and I am grace
You’re the effect and I’m the cause
You are the couch, I’m the neurosis
You’re the thorn, I’m the rose
 
You are the sadness, I am the poet
You are the Beauty, I am the Beast
You’re the body, I’m the head
You’re the body, yummmmm...
You’re the serious, I’m the careless
You are the cop and I am his grass
You are the hunted, I am the trap
You the boredom and I’m the trance
You’re too little, I’m too much
I am the sage and you’re the fool
 
You are the flash and I’m the beam
You’re the straw and I’m the powder
You’re the superego of my id
You’re Charybdis, and I’m Scylla
You’re the mother and I’m the doubt
You are nothing and I am all
You are the song of my siren
You are the blood and I’m the vein
You’re the never of my always
You are my love, you are my love

Superbe version, bien mieux que la #1. J’avais pris notes pour corriger ladite version mais je constate qu’il n’y a plus rien à modifier.

Please use this version instead of the #1. :)
