good luck, and godspeed as i return to my reality:
a world that is a part of me. a world that is apart from me.
where is my home? and how did i come to this fork in the road
splitting further away, shutting my eyes tightly
the whispers fading to grey....
i cannot stay. this place is not my home.
i just think i need some time alone.
and when i leave, will i forget all that i've known?
i just think i need sometime alone.
i am in gratitude to all of you eternally.
but two-thousand light years away, i hear her voice calling my name.
so i will leave myself behind and take my mind to a better place.
i just think i need some time alone.
when i am with you all, forever can be such a blur.
but i just want a simple life with her.
i will slowly breathe, and i will fall asleep and dream
of fields greener than green, of ten thousand pretty things.
angels will lift me away; i will fall into empty space
and see life and love, loss, joy and pain
encapsulated in a sphere of blue;
a sapphiric jewel; a kaleidoscopic pool
so i'll find myself to be awake; to be awake in yesterday
as if i've never left this place. as if i've never seen your face.
the one thing that reminds me of that other world of dreams
is the tiny voice inside my mind when i fall asleep.
the angels lift me to the sky. today just passes by.

i traced her facial lines hoping that i'd find an invitation:
no life behind those sullen eyes.
i once saw the Divine in terror, loneliness, and isolation:
an orchestrated, sinister design.
and no words in recent time have left her lips without an expectation....
and i've come to realize her lies have flung me further from salvation.
you know how hard i've tried to live a lie?

i left an empty room for just a single moment's solitude.
am i not welcome next to you?
now the blinking lights have caught my eye; they dominate my sight.
deep breath, erase my thoughts.
yet i see myself coming to this place for rest, i turn to you.
now where have you gone? are you unhappy?
and do we ever sleep?
untaken pictures hang upon a wall inside my mind.
images of what could be cover what's in front of me.
i tear your pictures off the wall;
i know very soon that i will leave this life behind.
to you, i say, "good-bye."
follow my breath in and out; i see, nor hear, nor feel no one around.
i am a world away from her
silently, i am in this struggle, invisible outside this bubble.
inhalation, feel the strain; exhalation, take away the pain.
(please understand)
untaken pictures hang upon a wall inside my mind.
images of what could be cover what's in front of me.
i tear your pictures off the wall;
i know very soon that i will leave this life behind.
to you, i say, "good-bye."

is this a passing phase? (only if it's in retrospect)
either i hesitate or tie a noose around my neck.
i find myself pondering the latter (a prospect more appealing)
but either way, what would it even matter?
but rather, i'll always be there for you.
i'll remain fearful for you.
my heart keeps on beating for you.
but conflicting voices blind me from the truth.
kind words enough to pierce the barrier around my heart:
ice cold armor fortified with unrelenting thoughts.
hollow hallucinations conjured by the mind.
unreal conversations shattered by a soul, pure and Divine.
i'll always be there for you.
i'll remain fearful for you.
my heart keeps on beating for you.
but conflicting voices blind me from the truth.

one.

one foot before the other towards the flicker of the flame.
the future is concealed under mysterious terrain.
i smile and start to realize that the path and destination are the same.
i should feel no pain; i know what i am now is what i cannot change
by looking back into the past. my mind will only rearrange
and split between two places at one time.
we're killing ourselves with our own minds.
i gaze into the night, fascinated by the bright lights in the sky,
wondering if they will remain long after i die.
serving as a beacon to the minuscule existence of mankind.
time passes by within a single blink, before we could even think
to search for Truth and higher reason.
days turn into months and seasons of forgetting who it is we are.
we're forgetting who and what we are.
my heart retrieves my soul and brings my mind back to the ground.
i'm with you here and now. i won't lose myself with what i've found.
a wise man told me not to mourn;
"as one is dead, another is born again.
when i was young i thought that i knew all there was to know.
i saw no home, no peace, or shelter long ago."
"for shelter where am i to go?" i asked and he replied
"nowhere, for your true home is nowhere but inside."
