#8Eternity
dancing slowly to the sound of your voice in my head
but the morning comes and washes away the dreams
from the glances in the deep end of a pool of people
you appear through the crowd and smile
proceeding to walk to anyone else but I
all I ever wanted was a moment where you could come to me
to say a few words, this and that, it matters little
but I am the only one who realizes this click
that is floating away slowly
all you would ever care to tell me is the basics
the airy feeling between us, the miles, the walls
***** me in once again as the strings on your heart don't pull
and lets me think of a time where I wish I knew you since forever
how could I have been so blind and so disrupted
every thought of you wrapped inside reality and dreams(that will continue for eight million years)
although at times it feels like I'm not even walking anymore
and the time flies out the window and kills itself
it's done with you and I
and on the First day God created you
to walk amongst the angels in pure bliss
to smile and light up the world
to flow between souls and make them feel rested
on the Second day God created I
the first thing I ever saw was You
and you didn't say much
but I knew it would be important
the Third day rolled around the corner and God created a picture of emotion
a flowing river of thoughts and dreams
for me to experience but not recognize for #2years
and like a child lost in a sea of people, looking for his mother, I found you once again
on the Fourth day God created a hero
someone for me to look up to and follow in His footsteps
someone I detested for a years suddenly looked like a dream-
one I wished I could become
and become I did, and glances at you still swam around me
and the more and more I smiled the better it got
and at some moment it all became clear that this is what I needed
as I became who I needed to be (moreso than anyone else but you)
and on the Fifth day God created Doubt
to crawl inside my heart and rip it apart
but it did not matter, because I still could look at you
and feel safe and warm
(but now I realize that the efforts will matter none)
on the sixth day god created a revelation
a smack you in the face cold hard truth
and in that moment I looked for my Hero
but alas, he was nowhere to be found
could I talk to him, I would find strength
but all that I could think about is talent
love slowly drifted away
and I felt like I no longer needed to care
but oh how I wish you would not disappear forever
(but within the visions, the memories, and the dreams I came to realize there would be no Whisper worth knowing-
-and I disappear within the vision:
For on the Seventh day god created another
one you knew just as well
and it could have all been a lie in the first place, but at this point I'm not forced to care
because you'll be walking with him; just like you, not giving me a chance
and I'll sit on my couch for years
anotheroneturnedintoadreamofathousandpluspeople
on the eighth and final day god finished his materpiece
and looked at his angels and said:
"What do you think?"
and they could not reply from the beauty
and he walked away from the painting
when the #8Eternity hangs on the wall of glory
I remember her as a haze of time
and drift into the ocean
and push the water into the sky
one more time
