The Ying and Yang

The ying and yang is incomplete.
Maybe they can see past your yelling and screaming,
But I can't.
Or maybe I can,
But there is nothing to see.

The ying and yang is incomplete.
Why must you follow 'that's good,' with 'but'?
Always others worthier to be your daughter,
I can't do anything right.

The ying and yang is incomplete.
All I wanted was some respect.
You invest too much in the security of blood,
You don't see the value of love.

The ying and yang is incomplete.
I tried so hard not to do this to you,
This, that I have done to others,
I tried not to,
Because I love you.
When was the last time you said that, huh?

The ying and yang is incomplete.
There,
I've said it.

  1. I always understood "yin" and "yang" as separate though interconnected energies.

    "Or maybe I can,
    But there is nothing to see."

    And these lines are great too:

    "I tried so hard not to do this to you,
    This, that I have done to others,
    I tried not to,
    Because I love you.
    When was the last time you said that, huh?"

    The restraining and constraining power of love!
