We share more than is to be believed. You and I are connected, joined as one via our minds |
-You And I- by Keaton Foster You And I Friends Strangers transfixed The same point In a different place You swear relation While I declare A deep seeded need For further isolation In a room full of people I am always alone In a room full of strangers You are quite at home Acceptance is your gift Avoidance is mine These words They are tentacles Your open mind A viable receptacle I hold nothing back Because I have Nothing at all I am alone in my heart In the core of this soul Here I’ll always be That is the real me This All of it Not so accurate Not so absolute What I’ve said Most of it Lies upon lies So much so That the truth No longer Is it known By the real me Who am I What am I I don’t know How could I Really I cannot You And I Parting time On planet earth Participating While alive It could be worse Much These words Every damn one of them Are for you May they masticate At the recesses Of your cranium May your head Hurt at the idea Placed upon your alter May you struggle Just as I often do Feeling somehow Connected Someway infected May the darkness of me Become what you see When nothing else Comes into view You And I Strangers doing time I’m here You are somewhere Not so very near Living what to you Must be life While to me It’s something else Something far different Then can be expressed So I lie Through my words And these ways Wisdom and pain Placed upon your chest Take it all in You And I Different Thus connected… You And I Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
