Poems of a Lost Soul

Dust & Gold

It's down to me and you
in this cold and empty room.
Stuck between two different realities,
on opposite sides of a
Spectrum.

Have we forgotten what
we're dying for?

I stare at you through a cracked reflection.
This broken mirror is all I have to
show for this refraction.

I gaze at you through this
Shattered portal.
You gaze at me like I'm a
Foreign mortal.

We are one and the same,
but why are we so
Incomplete?

It's down to me and you
in this cold and empty street,
two sides of a whole
facing each other in silent
contempt.

Have we forgotten what
we're living for?

I stare down at you,
covered head to toe in gold,
while you stare up at me,
coated in dust with nothing to hold.

We are one and the same,
but why are we like
Kings and Thieves?

It's down to you and me
in this cold and empty world.
I choke on the collecting dust
as you take what's left of my gold.

What have we gotten so wrong?

You are everything I
Want to be,
While I'm everything you
Want to leave.

If we are truly one and the same,
Why do you wish to demolish me?

Why must everything be like
Dust & Gold?

Hello hello! So, first part of my book. What did you think of it? Was it choppy at all?

Inspired and based off the song, "Dust & Gold" by Arrows to Athens. While the song is about something completely different than what I wrote, this is just a different interpretation that I thought of while staring up at my ceiling. XD I also have a broken mirror in my bedroom...so, yeah. lol.

I do not own the video above or the song.

I hope you have a wonderful Morning/Afternoon/Evening!
