A Piece of My Mind

The universe said

  And so we went again in the never ending dance, the performance of a lifetime as every actor felt so numb to even smile. The universe said it was worth it and so I danced. The universe said that you were love and so I sang. The universe said that I wasn't alone and so I performed. The universe spoke but I was never listening, my faith doesn't reach that far, but I consider myself a fool too.

 The peaceful blue, even the wind sits down to contemplate it, why can't I live in this moment? Do we have to move on? Why? One day someone will know the answer. The silence started speaking, but we will forgive it, it's even better this way. Who's we? You're not alone. Who's there? Everybody. Everybody left. And so did you.

 To not understand this paragraph, at this point... it would be like living with your eyes closed and useless ears. Is there chaos in beauty or beauty in chaos? One of them brings hope and the other one is doomed to show fears, worries, doubt and for what? You begin to mix reality only to separate it when it ain't what you would like; childish.

 You're two sides of the same coin, the soul inside a mirror that gazes at me while it cleverly ignores me. Only if you could see what I've become, maybe you would still be here, but if I could see what you became, I would leave again.

 Unexpected? You always would let your blood boil at the thought of me standing up for myself.

 One taught me how to deal with the other and how I wish you both were here, but I'm happier I'm here. In this story, the true tear only fell down when I left me.

 You're welcome home, anytime you feel like showing up.

 And the universe said you were light, but I still can't listen.
