You are inside me.
When I breathe, you breathe.
When I laugh, you laugh.
When I cry, you cry.

You are inside me.
You are the heart on my sleeve.
You are the thoughts in my brain.
You are the glisten in my eyes.

You are inside me.
When I dance, you dance with me.
When I sing, you sing the refrain.
When I dream, you are there to my surprise.

You are inside me.

Maybe it was the look in your eye,
Or the sweat on your brow,
Or the light that shined through the trees,
That made me fall for your enchanting smile.

Maybe it was not you, but I
That ended our prowl,
We knew this love, we could not keep.
It was only perfect for a while.

Maybe it was not the time,
Or due to the growing crowd,
That ruined our lover's dream,
When we parted ways down the isle.

Maybe it was our different lives
That made it not allowed.
Or the internal screams
To now force us into denial.

My dear old friend,
Once again we meet
Here in this time of darkness.
Do you see me?
Sitting here in your light,
Glowing, just like you!
This time, I know what you are,
Carrying the light I, too, hold inside.
I now know nothing of judgment,
Nor fear, denial, or rage.
You have helped me see all
That I am, through travails and triumphs.
Now I am bright and illuminating,
And shine over your presence.
Dear long lost friend,
I do thank you for visiting again.

My dear old friend,
We meet again!
In this dark time it is wonderful
to see You.
You, too, stare at me,
Glowing,
Not knowing what I am.
You know not judgment, fear,
Denial, nor rage.
You are bright and illuminating.
With you I see all that
I am.
Dear long lost friend,
Thank you for visiting again.

Intricate details lining the inner and outer meaning
Lead in to every question and answer.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction;
No coincidences here.

So you say you know the answer?
Our measly reason for existence?

It's recommended to not speak of it,
If Humanity were to hear, She'd be suicidal.

Misery, doubt, and society's woes
Rip the pieces of self worth to shreds.

The reality of the situation is like beauty,
In the eye of the beholder.

And if indeed the beholder is true,
You are most likely false.

It is common law amongst our kin to make it so.
Contrary to popular belief, the world was not made for us.

But that's just my take,
If you inquire within it might prove to be something you didn't bet on.

Maybe. It's probably false though,
Only if we refer to common law number one.

Motive for the circular motions?
Life. That is all.

I am fear amongst men.
I speak of Peace and Hope,
Yet I leave them with none.
I creep in the night,
Unbeknownst to others,
Seeping and writhing myself
Into every essence,
Of every being.

With my reigns tight
I control and rule
Everything below.
Seen and unseen.
Heard and unheard.
Dead and alive.
I am Your God.
I am fear amongst men.

Forces pull from the center
Of the Earth.
You can feel it.
Ripping you.
Tugging you.
It's insatiable, you say,
And you don't think
You can overcome it.

"Oh, woe is me,"
You think to yourself
In a hushed tone.
Darkness consumes the light
And you're tossed aside
Scorned.Used.
Weeping, you've recollected
And back upon the chosen path.

There's no higher power
To give you what you long for.
It was your freewill,
That which all humanity shares,
That led to this dark abyss.
You've made your mind,
It's time to reap what you have sown.
Feel it pulling you
from the center of the Earth.
