We inhale and exhale the
same petty misdemeanor
for different reasons,
We get consumed in
music with
discrepant emotions,
and we go about life
with a smile buttered onto our face
with contradictory opinions.

Despite all of this we somehow
acknowledge one another
and yearn to endeavor more
into a mind we've
never encountered
before.

I want to make you smile
but I've forgotten how, and
you want to carry my heart
but your hands shake.

It's sad that
we may have
a chance at
something special
but will probably
lose it
because our souls
are astray and
our hearts are
much too
Inflicted.
