So young, so wasted

Exhilerated by laughter

And the light in others’ eyes

Her fuel, her joy, her reason

Their actions, her life’s muse

So enthralled by the atmosphere, no time for petty tasks

Never ventures, for her mind fills the gaps

Just a whim, a fun game to pass the days

Life

Continues, doesn’t wait for her to catch it

So she plays away the phases

Until she’s in a daze of craziness

So she runs

To a different side of the same state

Can’t escape the destiny she didn’t conjure

Can’t catch the one she dreamt

Just a dream, nothing left but the memory of what was never known

Trapped in solitude, confinement

Never able to find. Ever searching

Until that day she is sure to come

Every space, emptiness, jumble crashes together

It’s just perfect

The pattern, fit as plug

Closed indefinitely

Continues the game she played

Except

At last without anticipation

Warmth.

The scene starts in a battle

Both sides masked by their pride

Yet two fighting for the same end

Unknowingly

One clouded by the need for freedom

The other masked by one’s spirit

This war will continue for years to come

Known by both, yet spoken by none

While in the quarrel, passion masked by hatred

Searching back on old memories seen no harm

Only loss, sadness, and truth under the words

Two are safe through the fire

The back and forth only fuels them greater

Thrown together, they feel each other

Know the limits, the thoughts, the emotion hidden

Through her tears he sees her loneliness, love

In his eyes she feels the despair, longing

Though neither can see it forward, admit

The sorrow will follow the present not far behind

Until one realizes and speaks it someday

Forgets all the troubles and meaningless thunder

But now it’s too late for fate

To bring them as we

What they’ve blindly been waiting for

For such an eternity

They will win together, but it will be in vain

For what they will have gained is time lost
