Divided Unity

Planes

I don't know where my mind is

All I know is that it's happy

I've spent so long trapped in boxes and lines

But now you've set me free

For so long you had me trapped down here

I thought it was all my fault

But on another plane you told me otherwise

Somewhere my hands can't reach but my mind can dream

Your memory is restless in the back of my head

It punctures my skin in the morning

It leaves the tiniest cuts across my face

Above my lips and one above my eyes

Fading within hours of spotting them in the mirror

I wonder some more, I ponder forever

I wanted closure, that's what I craved

So you gave it to me in the only way you really could

I still don't think I'd believe you if  you told me in this realm

But I guess that's the perk of being trapped between two

One of them holds your flawed pride and my obsessions

While the other houses the truer forms of me and you

"Look," you said, "things didn't go as planned"

To which I replied, "I know right? And we're both to blame

for that" because we're both part right and wrong

"But you were heaven enough."

With that line I saw through a specter's gaze

I woke up drenched in an airy sweat

The world felt heavy and my lips chapped

Like yours when they brushed my cheek

Only now do I realize that it was closure

Because we both know I'm the one you could never face

And I could never face you without a mask

So we do it without faces, across worlds and planes
