Scene Eight

We’ve never met, yet love’s embrace
Warms my heart in a boundless space
An intense hunch, it sparks my hope
For a reality where we might elope

I’ll dream of a life, quiet and serene
Romanticize moments yet unseen
All for a chance, a fleeting chance
To see you again, where you altered your stance

Hello Darkness My Old Friend

What’s the point of tallying our luck?

See if the numbers are in our odds

Or if the dates array into destiny’s pattern

Or if our fingers

Intertwined with a tangled crimson string

But what are we to do

If the stars refuse to align

As if we force the universe

To conspire and bind us through suffering?

And so,

The darkness becomes our confidant once more

And the only star in our favor

Is the dark star

That soon collapse into the abyss

You said forever is daunting

But maybe it is just not our thing

Anomaly

Does it relieve you?
No more lying about my name
And my heart, unburdened, no longer bears the weight of pity

Does it relieve you?
Your mind is clear, free from my endless murmurs
And your silence, once suffocating, now breathes easy

Does it relieve you?
You wander, unchained, no permissions needed,
And my demands for love have faded to whispers

From my end, it doesn’t.
If you ever mind.
