What gives way
to a breakthrough?
Tuning in to me,
letting me in to you.
Sounding
like a depth charge,
an explosion,
or an ocean;
a never ending crash.
The only thing
that lets us know
this place is madness,
is the silence
of the outside.
This is just a wave
of self-destruction
and
intelligent design.
Wasted a day
listening to the echoes
of the screams
from our past.
Tracing lines
on all the scars,
wondering
if it was really
all so bad.
I have lines
that I could never cross,
now.
You have things
that you would never say
and I love you
for your virtue of restraint.
Feeling time rolling on,
never backwards.
The ocean ebbs and flows.
Our planet
wobbles in its orbit,
so who knows?
Reality is just
a very thin veneer.
A lie we tell ourselves
to quell our fear.
You and I
have heard the cries
of the chaos
and we know
it’s all too real.
Hard enough
to live a life
devoid of emotions
we used to feel.
You pull
and I push
and we break the seals.
We’re imagining
a new reality
this year.

Really touching lines and thought provoking
