Title : Lost in translation 🌸 ( Contrast & comparison between childhood & adulthood)
Across this retrospective mirror
Clean , cold & consuming
We sit centuries apart
Holding our souls still , between us.Simple light carefree
humor builds your
young toothy smile .
While mine seeks reasons
to arrive and stay.
You fail to dissect less & more ,
so you treat love with acceptance.
Years of maturity have taught me to count currencies of effort
leaving me to wonder if
I am loved enough .You carry your heart on sleeves to keep it sane enough .
And between the cycle of forgetting and forgiving , I hide mine
to keep it safe.At this passageway of life , between arrivals and departures ,
you've become a permanent memory of who I used to be.
But like the skyline to a new day I keep on seeking , floating , changing , evolving.I speak out ' alive' & you turn up.
I murmur ' lost' & only I remain.
Aren't we the same ,
You & I ?In me ,
You are lost. & In you
I still exist.
