and somewhere in-between
i'm okay and it's fine
i lost myself.

your eyes with questions dripping off them;
we need to talk.
too late;
*i've forgotten how to.

meandering,*
i'm the lightweight
(see through) ghost light
shining through the crevices of
the coloured rays.

word by word,
i strengthen the walls of
the immense fortress i've
build to safeguard myself as
moment by moment,*
i begin to
unravel.

i love these
ribbons of smoke that
you weave around
my vision,
igniting shiny bursts of
colour in the dark.

think of all the people you've ever met,
and all the conversations that have ever left an impact on you.
think of all the thoughts that those words prompted in you,
and all the actions they led to,
which went and touched more people than you can count.
innumerable words and thoughts,
little cosmic representations of the
souls of people touching us
every.single.day.
your life is forever and inexplicably interconnected with a million others.
