reality
i thought if i was darkness
and you were the light
i could climb toward you and the
darkness in me would disapear
you were a thought that formed
and slowly grow into an idea
and then as you grew i found you
swirling around in my head
and now you have a new foundation
could you be a concept
or could you be passing
could you be this storm that captured me
in the middle of the road
or are you the truth i seek
are you the one who i wonder about
when the ground shakes and i guess
that it might of just been a
figment of my imagination
are you the baby crying out in agony when
it seeks its mothers breast
could i be the one that you flee too
when your heart finally can't find a
place that welcomes it home
i welcomed you home and you cast me
aside
saying that i was too much of a friend
to throw aside yet not enough for what you
needed and not who you envisioned
in your nightly fantasies
i am who i am
i am real and i am who you slept besides
quietly at night and in peace
but not what you wanted your reality to be
