Divided Unity

Beautiful Mind

I'm so conflicted between the choices I've made

The poems that I've written, the words that I've said

I know where I am is where I should be, for real

But I think where I have been also has its appeal

Out of civility I held back, and I think that's correct

Because for you I held more than the highest respect

To me you were more than a lover or friend

You were one of my soulmates to last 'til the end.

So there we were, both ace and aro clad in black

Vandalizing to feel alive and to get our minds back

You called me cute, like all compliments I couldn't accept

To me, from the term, you were also not exempt

I tell you this now because I feel that I must

In regards free from all forms of selfishness or lust

Perhaps now is the time that I should come clean

Now that our lives can continue like films on a screen

That you are not my friend, my fling, my lover

You are not my sibling or significant other

You're more precious to me than some words can describe

You've been there for me when I needed it, right by my side

We bond over our pains and we thrive as we heal

Unafraid to hold back any truths that we feel

If this outcome is not what you wanted I do apologize

If my respects have forsaken any potential ties

But I hope for the both of us so much of the best

You're a part of me now and I won't accept anything less

You are my fellow bird that I'll never leave behind

Hazel, I wouldn't trade the world for your beautiful mind
