Archadversaries
Maddie Hansen
Rancor is the anchor to our duet
Tiptoe tap dancing since we first met
The whippoorwill's song sings as a threat
As we drain each other of all we can get
I hate you, and I hate you as well
Swaying from the sound of the chapel bell
Arm in arm, from grace we both fell
Bound by an urge to drag each other to Hell
You make me want to lose my mind
With heretic ideals so unrefined
Yet calloused hands stay intertwined
By animosity so perfectly aligned
To your polarity I find myself drawn
You are my personal Babylon
I need not weep for thee Zion
For it's you I'd rather dwell upon
So long have we been attached at the side
Can't pull away though we've never tried
Is this addiction we wish to hide
Or codependency we have denied
We both know heaven is china blue
While we go out dancing on ruby red shoe
Three is a crowd, but lucky for you,
You and me and the devil makes two.
