parallel universe

My demons screamed

but that wasn't news,

they've been screaming ever since.

But when they screamed

you listened,

and that's not even the best part,

the best part is that

you tried to understand their screams.

So now I feel like I'm living in the wrong place,

either wrong universe or wrong world,

because I don't deserve living in this one,

this universe where we don't end up together,

this universe where you left too soon,

I don't.

There are parallel universes where this didn't happen,

where I was with you

and you were with me,

where you'd still sing

and I'd still try,

and whatever universe that is,

that's where my heart lays.
