Mile Conde
Sunrise.
Sunset.
Night and day.

Birth.
Death.
Beginning and end.

Why can't you see
That the ending
Holds just as much beauty

As the opening
Of the enormous play on stage
That is life.
Both beginning and ending are necessary.
The circle of life.
I am in awe of the limitless nature of the human mind
How it stretches infinitely inwards
Containing a private universe that would be forever in isolation
Unless that individual chooses to launch out shooting stars
Rocket ships from other worlds in the form of music, poetry, art
We are sending satellite signals out from our galaxies
Desperately holding cups to our ears
Tightrope walking on the string theory
Because the world needed yet another teenage poem with space imagery.
I want to not answer when you call at 4 am
I want you to cry yourself to sleep
Because your mind won't stop thinkin
I want you to think I'm with another man
I want to play with your emotions
Just because I can
I want to play this out until it ends it course
I want to watch you turn into me
And feel no remorse
I want you to wait for me to change
Waiting as still and as long as a statue
I want to make you look like a fool
as everybody's laughing at you
I want to hurt you so bad
It'll take years for your heart to mend
I want to affect you so much
That you'll never trust again
And just when you can't take it anymore
And you're thinking about leavin
I want to pull you close and whisper in your ear
"Now we're even"
