attract and repell

shadows made by strangers claims

daunt your mind and feed this game

hollow out whats in a name

its long since now we've been the same

but ive always known how different we are

i always saw through the door kept ajar

how you slip in and out

and in between

but what you dont see

is that I want you to be

whatever you want

your motive is never something that daunts

my mind

and the comparison of us

is something I find

curious

most are so quick to scurry us

into a lump

of love and life

but there comes a price

and we are not

a package deal

we both feel

in different ways

we both write

a different page

and though we're close

in time and age

i know inside that where my sun rises

yours does set

and when I smile

you secretly fret

because two scales

will always be unbalanced

and with every action being challenged

by eager spirits

its tough to find a mutual center

in and out we venture

until we've seen enough of each other

and learned

but im glad i can see this

while others cant

offenses or sorrow felt

i shant

for i know the words your mind secretes

i feel the things in your heart you keep

and although I never probe or ask you to speak

I wonder how it could ever be

any other way

because I dont think it could

words shared between us are said

but not truly understood

and although we're tagged as really good

friends

i still dont like the spread

of words about me

or from me

from your mouth

because they will come out

the wrong way

and in reality

thats okay

my soul is here to stay

just as yours is

similar likes and interests

doesnt mean Im

trying to arrest

your identity

for we both are

an entity

on our own
