I’m not a part
of your delusion.
I’m not a friend.
I’m not an enemy.
We are just
two different people
living in
different worlds,
but we
share the same space,
and we
share the same time.
It is too easy
to fall into
our places
and speak our lines.
I’m in existence.
You’re living, too.
Everything I am
is because of you.
Everything you are,
all you’ve become
is the result of
interactions
that you’ve had
with everyone.
I’m an echo.
You’re a reflection.
I’m a part
of everything
you’ve ever been.
You’re in me,
I’m in you.
I’m your influence.
You’re my muse.
Both of us
are existing
for now,
forever.
In each of us
a tiny part
endures.
We were once
the stuff of stars.
We go back
to what we are;
together,
even when apart.
