causality is not a chain
it cannot be predicted
it cannot be quarantined, contained
it branches like a tree

entangled all together
we are raindrops in the delta
never knowing whether this river
will ever reach the sea

what happens if I lose control
and do the thing that I dream of
and let your mind caress my soul
I am afraid to fall in love

and what would I do if I fell
I'd pull my feelings way down deep
and melt into your arms and tell
my deepest secrets in my sleep

this thing we call love
scares the **** out of me
I don't understand it
and I can't control it

I know about I
I don't know about we
I don't know who I'd be
if I ever found love

if I ever found love
I don't know what I'd say
I'd light up like the day
so bright

I think that you might
come to understand me
if we ever find love

goodnight

we do not know darkness
our world is full of light
brighter than a candle flame
burning in the night

in this warm sanctuary
the eye of the storm
it is easy to forget
that darkness is the norm

my heart was an open book
full of blank sections
and searching for meaning
I filled it with questions

I looked for connections
or some explanation
I looked for letters
and I found punctuation

I dreamed
a strange dark room
colossal
many flights of stairs
and in the middle
strange dark space
where some colossal
god once stood

I do not show my poetry
to anyone I know
I don't want anyone to see
so deep into my soul

to know what hides
inside my mind
and who I have become
but you do not know who I am
I could be anyone
