Repetition

Pose a question that requires imminent answer

Repeat enough times until it has lost its meaning

Flipping a coin to decide if to look for love

if to stay to live, or leave to die

 

Mutter an answer with subtle silence

Repeat enough times until it has lost its meaning

Pacing inside the agony to find a feeling lost

to take and lose, or give and gain

 

**Reciprocity is the gravity

the equal but opposite force

Holding together yet tearing apart

Ending with a shiver but never start**

 

While we are sitting in this snow-filled room

Soft clouds grazing in the sky following a gentle breeze

I look up and we are already dying

I look down and you are no longer crying

 

ten seconds later

ten minutes later

ten months later

ten years later

 

Till forever lasting the soft touch

in fuzzy motion distorts true intention

Repeat enough times until it has lost its meaning

Repeat enough times until it has lost its meaning

 

To love or be loved

Why not both?
