The first words
out of your mouth
gave me the last thing
I expected.
I didn’t know I needed
all of this,
or anything.
The first thoughts
in my head
were defensive,
even angry,
and then sadness,
as I realized
how wrong I was.
You and I
started off the same,
just a couple cells,
a half a world away.
Now, here we are
sharing the same pain
and taking it
two different ways.
I admire your strength,
your positivity,
and your discipline.
The way you always seem
so together.
Everything in its place
and I place for everything.
It seems the only thing
that confounds you
is me.
“Chaos” is my name,
and emotion is my bloodline.
I am cast about
on seas bigger than me.
Not opposed to order,
but there’s something
artificial
in protecting myself
from this existence.
Here we sit,
experiencing the same thing.
Two lives,
two different ways.
Perception
makes a spectrum
of what could be so plain,
but between the two of us,
we paint a masterpiece
and then we go
our separate ways.
You,
on your ordered adventure.
Me, off on my inspired gaze.
We’ll meet back here.
The circle always curves.
When it brings us back together,
the first words
out of your mouth
will be the last thing
I expect.
