The world split in half
And on each end were lovers
The sun and the moon
Again and again
They chased each other
For days
Weeks
Months
Years
Decades
And only on certain occasions would it seem they passed closely

A day where the moon passed in front of the sun
We saw the earth go dark
Only for moments
And the silence we shed in awe
Aligning of the sun around the moon
And just like that
It went away again
The sadness they cried
Knowing they had to await another shortcoming while chasing the shadows of each other
But they still belonged together
Like yin and yang

We watched the sun dip below
When the moon began to shine
Looking meek it said goodbye
Time too short, time they seek
Again they wait
Years
Months
Weeks
I'm asleep when you're awake
That's all it takes
I dream of you and you dream of me
Can't we just sleep together?
In the sight of one another...
I sit on the floor in the middle of this room
How did I get here?
It's almost noon
There's nothing in here but the words on the walls
The pictures that form from unearthly shadows
The cold wood floor
And a door left ajar
Just a crack
I read the words on the walls
and look at the pictures one by one
It all looks familiar I can barely sense it
My eyes pass over a word and my whole body shivers
These are the words in my mind
I am alone in this world
This universe
A beat left behind and forgotten
A pain so retched
In the silence
It's so loud in my head
It's a rush, an unwanted rush
That's why I write
And now I *remember
Hope is all we have
Waiting and waiting

Sounds of a clock ticks on and on
Pulsed in our ears

Waiting for answers

No phone calls
No music or TV

Silence

Just silence


For truth
Not lies

Hope is all we have
Sitting and waiting


Sounds of a clock ticks on and on

My body feels like light air
in a reality where I don't feel completely there
Neither comfortable or out of place
I'm simply wandering through this space
My starry eyes are fixated on time
my colorful thoughts are worded in rhymes

I have recluded deep inside my mind

love me
hints are everywhere
behind every favorite song
lies an unimaginable story
behind every just kidding
lies some truth
behind every quote
lies some pain

society is incapable of noticing these
they'll say "i didnt know"

i say "you didnt ask"
