Description
It stings, like a papercut ...
... given by these words I am enticed to write
As do the enticer of which they speak;Β they ring with such influence
The sound, so dreadful, it makes my ears bleed ...
Is it better, indeed, for lightning to strike you down
So that we are torn apart by force
In the life given to us, most would disagree
They think the cold wind of death akin to a nightmare.
Or ... is it more painful
For the gravity, the flames and sparks of life, to melt your glue
So that we have have strayed apart
Unable to bind the torn paper back together ...
I can hear you, but I can no longer feel your presence
You have disappeared, wander the world alone to this day ...
No. It is only I, of course, that you have lost.
And though a disdainful notion, in the least, I did believe ...
It's alright, though; indeed, you shall live on in my mind
Though it is only an illusion ... you are somewhere else, outside
Perhaps you have forgotten me, and I will be trapped
In this past, our past, to only repeat over and over, never ending?
Or perhaps, you do remember me?
At the most extreme, you recall me as I do you
And I am granting you the same bittersweet pain
Even apart, I am no good, your pain, my tears ... pathetic.
I still see those days, live in them even
Though they were agonising, I am now left with greater agony and a bittersweet sting
I was truly blinded by the light of the past, thinking only of myself
I blotted you out.
...
You have inspired me to write these words. In a way it is akin to a letter from you.
Though painful, written on torn paperΒ by bloody hands, rough edges, and riddled with papercuts
Though stained with my tears, nostalgia, and miserable means of interpretation
I must dare to utter the words ... thank you, my dear friend ...
(Life does not care if its objects become dirty, bloodstained ... life must go on, mercilessly, and without an end ... the cycle repeats.)
