#diverging
Dear Mama,
I've felt a darkness in me
Something not of your inheritance
But a teaching of this world
I know you've felt it too
You've feared it enough to think
one day I'll have my shoulders turned
Blood binds us in ways,
your love in others
These bonds are not so easily shattered
I know I've never said enough
But words serve demagogues,
To us, they do little matter
I trusted you
to put me on my two feet
I ask of your trust in me to walk
Your strength inspires more
than you have ever known
I might surprise you if I choose to run
You're always so wary
of the storm I'm weathering
But it's nothing that I can't take
I may have strayed from
the path you set me on
But I promise not to lose my way.

light doesn't break
it bends
it refracts
scattering into spectrums of possibilities
each beautiful
because not one shade is exactly alike
a progression of symphonies
each note hitting a different hertz
new wavelengths
that frequently call out to one another
when we choose to follow a melody
to saunter after a piper that doesn't exist
we bathe, splash, and twirl through
the beam we chose dance in

If only "us"
was an option
Our river of emotions
would never dry
If we could just
merge our diverging dimensions
On a silky web of a broken lie
I would be the one to
Dare to face your weirdest obsession
Dive into
Your darkest ocean
Earn a place in your wildest passion
If only "us" was an option
I'd soothe you like a cool pillow
Flip your mood like a morning coffee
So if you'd feel down like a weeping willow
I'd hold your branches up like a trophy
If only "us" was an option
You'd become my reason
to smile everyday
And even
To die smiling in my grave
And thus I crave
Despite our diverging dimensions
A perfect world where "us"
would still be an option
But it never was
And will never be.
