In Theory

I am not sure, do i make you responsible 
for the things i do
the ones i do not want to do
do i make you responsible 
for the things i do not
and i want to do
in theory

in theory
what to do
that makes your life more sensfull
and what not to do
that avoids the world to fall apart
is also my responsibility
and knowing and not doing
breaks me apart

apart
we are at the same time
the things we are doing
together – but the minds try to flee
I hopelessly try to find sense
fulill the time
and you are trying to flee your mind

mind
was never something worth believing
for you
thats the one and only life
to come through
time passes by
so why 

why
is the question
turning in my head and mind
that mind
that feels rather than think
what is best to do
but i can not live it with you

and still i am here
seeing your answer to time
to life
is dazing your mind
that cant answer my question
i do not want to follow
nor go away

I like it how you start each new stanza with the last words of the previous stanza. That question goes round and round in your mind. And the answer is so elusive... Welcome to PoetrySoup
