[x]Paradigm Adrift.
(A tale of the Mirror and the Fool)
Cast aside, like the spare parts in other people's machinations
Unexpected and unsettling, she crashed into me with matching scars
Her beauty adrift, I found myself compelled to do anything to save her…
Even though this loop of mine doesn’t make much of a life preserver
anymore
Now I’m trapped with this force of a wounded girl
who never lets me find her, even when she’s right here
and bound by validations and adoration -
we do nothing but trip over each other’s defense mechanisms
Even though we still want nothing more than to surrender to someone
As much as we’ve lost – we still refuse to yield to each other
And in the resulting volatility
We don’t know what to do with ourselves when we’re not on fire
While everything I feel is in binary, at least she’s still trying to
burn –
Still, there are fleeting, intoxicated moments when we’re almost there…
When I have to stop that looking in her eyes, for fear of falling in…
The sheer vastness of our respective love
Even if I’m just going to end up a fool simply holding your reflection
in a mirror
In some small pathetic way, you’ll still end up in my arms
And I’ll still wish that I was enough to hold you permanently
And I’d wish you’d realize that you are so enough
I know the stillness of being unrequited can drive us insane –
but I would give anything just to be able to move you
To get you unstuck from saying goodnight moon
And be there when you finally say good morning to the sun
