A Part Of Me

The two worlds

In the first world,
The days would begin
With sunshine softly touching
My rueful eyes
And end with
The fireflies fluttering far away
In the melancholy meadows

Surrounded by an ocean of faces
I thought I could hide away forever
And remain blissfully ignorant
Of the problems piling up
I thought I could run away forever
From the strangely constant
Presence of loneliness

I was entrapped within a shell
Cucooned with cimmerian
Numb from winter's frosty fingers
Holding me too tight
To the world, I was a miserable sight

I sought solace in dancing all alone
Hoping that time
Would heal all wounds
Hoping that my mind
Would hide away all the obscurity
Thickening like fog

That's when
I began to pine for the second world
With a definitive desire
For certainty and comfort
Somehow it would drive away
The loneliness
The emptiness
Somehow it seemed
Like the perfect place
For happiness to reside

If only I knew the impending gloom...
That awaited me with doom
In the second world
If I only I knew...
Happiness was merely an illusion
In both the worlds,
Divinely crafted
Yet somehow incomplete..
