Dive



Just a thought


You shouldn't have gone there;

should't have done that

I wasn't there to halt your actions, nor was I able to remain in your memory long enough to intervene in the thought process that seemingly took over your sensibilities...

It's such a shame

really

Because like you,

I knew the instant it happened.

I deperately attempted to look away, into the other direction

as you slammed into yet another wall.

Living day to day, no course set, will do that to you

I would suppose


We tug and war over the intangible

because no one is quite certain

we've all been harmed

in one way or another

though some continue to further this pursuit

it's not I

who would


They say that we are mirror images of one another

forces of nature bound by the laws of the internal

though one regards

as the other

disregards


I've been here before

It's not home

It's far from it


If you aren't the real thing

Then you really aren't good enough

there is no necessity in settling

no affection worthy of taking three steps backward

you either comprehend where true beauty radiates (from)

or you drown in the shallow


I dive into the depths

I stopped giving a damn...such a long time ago

I knew long before the others

that the strength that I possess meant that I could

even when you weren't near

I could still stand true to the melodic rythm that my heart pounded to


You shouldn't have gone

you should be here...

not one word would have halted me from running to you

to catch you

as you fell

There comes a time when you set it all aside

take a deep breath

and dive...


You just shouldn't have gone

waking up on that side

knowing that I would surely would wake

realizing...


That I too

am gone


From my hand to yours,

Sawyer
