Somewhere Between
To see me is to look
through storm clouds
To view what I have hidden
in the depths of my gaze.
To hear me is to listen
only to the half breaths
And recognize the difference
between solace and anxiety.
To judge me is to walk
barefoot along broken trails
Not knowing where it takes you
while caring only that no-one follows.
To know me is to feel
ancient memories you've not lived
The unimportance of associations
compared to the peace of avoidance.
To feel for me is to dance
to music playing in your soul
And to stand at the edge of nothingness
as if it were a pathway of healing.
To remember me is to forget
what others may perceive
And find the beauty of the woman
who travels the verges of both worlds.
