What If
I had it all.
The blood beneath the cold, dense, heart
beats as if it were nothing.
But what good would a heart be
if it did nothing.
The mind just seems to baffle-
confuse both me and you,
no longer are you confused, but am I.
A sweet little butterfly,
gravity has no affect on me
i'm free, oh the freedom what glee,
there's no you and me.
Only after is there a space for 2
when 1 and 1 they become 1 whole
and 2 together,
they separate, without becoming one-
just as though life had died.
It's true what they say about dying,
no one ever learns until-
that moment, situation unfolds,
and instead of the light, it's dark
black, cold.
Instead of the angels, loved ones spirits,
it's the devils scold
and even after all this hyperbole,
I haven't even budged.
I'm old.
You just don't seem to get it,
I once became so young, now old
and all because of you,
you mystery of my soul.
