I smile to this empty room.
Hollow in retrospect, these walls hold more than solidity.

Encased within these walls are my days.
Moments of inspiration.
Tears of joy, Fears of tomorrow.

As a pilgrim, I gather my belongings.
My heart no longer holds it’s ground here.
My journey soon takes hold.

I wrap my innocence in gift.
Donating it to the memories of the past, I leave behind life’s ease.
I seek the truth in lands unknown.

I pack my knowledge.
Wrapped in hopes are my dreams.
Placed delicately, my heart.
In the front pocket, my resilience.

This room may be empty, but so is my canvas.
And with the colors of my soul, I will paint my masterpiece.
With the fears of tomorrow, I will paint my successes.
With the light of my heart, I will paint my sunrise.

Even the broken can be whole.

Even the strong weep silently.

Even the heartless can have soul.

Even the wise speak quietly.

Even the weak find their role.

Even the calm think violently.

Even the free seek control.

Even the proud walk entirely.

Even the fire burns the coal.

Even the tree stands defiantly.

I’ve got two eyes, and two ears.

A misunderstanding is best understood, in silence.

A voice is better heard through the mind.

A thought is best spoken through reality.

I’ve got two thoughts, and two opinions.

A life is best lived through dreams.

A touch is better given through feeling.

A heart is best touched through meaning.

A love is best felt through the heart.

I’ve got two lies, and two truths.

I’ve got everything, and I’ve got nothing.

And found beauty in the loss of control.

❧

Captured in our photos were the hopes of tomorrow.

As time erased the moments broken, we held onto those unspoken.

Leaving our youth to chance, we all believed in timeless romance.

With words untold, we waited for the years to unfold.

❧

And so I left my heart in a chase so my steps I could retrace.

I searched for a place where I could understand it’s grace.

And in the midst of it all, it was your laughter I could recall.

❧

And on the eve of my sorrow, I looked back to tomorrow.

Your heart I could follow, but to me it was hollow.

Our ambitions were strong, but our intentions so wrong.

And in the words of a song, it was to our futures we belonged.

Because, I traded my soul on a morning stroll.

And found beauty in the loss of control.

❧

I want to understand this feeling of bliss and undermine it’s authority.
I want to swim in misery, and suffocate in it’s happiness.
I want to witness your disguise and forever believe in our demise.

All I want is to understand.

Search bare lands for lush hopes.
Feed the soul that is not hungry.
Find the origin, implement the end.

I want my footsteps to scold me as I walk the path.
I want to sense your anger and wrap my warmth around it.
I want my eyes to glow magically as I lose you tragically.

All I want is to understand.

Approximate futures for past mistakes.
Tear apart whole partitions.
Kiss goodbye to your hello.

I want my embrace to hold the abyss.
I want to encounter resistance as I steal my existence.
I want to bleed intellect.

All I want is to understand.
