[ If I were a flower, ]

If I were a flower,
I'd be a carnation
simple && beautiful
until put beside a rose
If I were a chemical element
I'd be neon
illuminating faces of the people below
adding a little more color to the black && white of life
If I were a moment
I'd be right now
Turning with possibilities
and gleaming with hope,
If I were a photograph
I'd be black and white
a simple moment caught in time
that you would never remember without
If I were an article of clothing,
I'd be your pair of jeans
concealing everything you don't want seen
and keeping in the mystery
If I were a body part,
I'd be the eyes
emotional, strong and deep
where you can look for truth
If I were a feeling,
I'd be anger
gritted teeth and burning edges
hands balled up into fists
If I were a thought,
I'd be deep
the philosophical meaning behind everything
just trying to work out the kinks
If I were a fabric,
I'd be satin
cool and smooth
beneath your skin
If I were a song,
I'd be punk from the 80's
angry and fighting the world
just to make a difference
If I were a movie,
I'd be a horror flick
a reason to grab your loved one tight
and be scared for just a moment
If I were a color,
I would be purple
soft and warm or harsh and dark
but beautiful none the less
If I were a superhero,
I'd have the power of invisibility
a perverted act or a midnight "ghost"
to never be truly seen
If I were you
Then we'd be a match made in heaven
though I'm not quite sure
I could handle your attitude
