Love is all we could hope, but there are times when love must guide the hardest of choices |
-I Thought We Were As One- by Keaton Foster Here Where Why Albeit An idea True love All that I am What I have Us All you wish All you don’t In between My hope My heart In residence Strangers We’ve become Sadist Enshrined In a prison Without walls Neither Do we know Jailer Or convict Who has the key Who has the will One must be The other Must remain I thought We were as one But in fact We are not We have become Something else Something failed Irrevocably broken Dismantled The pieces All the parts Strewn about Everywhere And nowhere Two equally Opposing places Within one Absolute decision I know I understand What I must do Truer the love Kinder the heart I must let you go Regardless Of my convictions Despite Such imprisonment I must be An infinite being The surreptitious element That both binds us as one And tears us apart I love you so much That I must let you go Out into that cold Where there are wolves Where there is pain I must let you go Not because of hate And despite all fear I must let you go Because of love I thought We were as one But we are not No longer Possibly never before I feel as I did As I still do But I know That you don’t That you can’t So wide will swing The doors of this prison This encampment I will watch you leave I will encourage you to flee To go beyond us Out there into that world Of many monsters Because even I Am well aware That out there Is much more Than this nothing We now share You of all people Will certainly find it At first You might stumble But in the end You will not fail You are greater Then I could hope Myself to be I thought We were as one But no longer Maybe never Was that the case Truer love Is yours to find And mind to keep Here Alone in this prison This encampment Without walls I am not the jailor Nor the convict But here I always will be Bound by my convictions While you alone Will go free I will watch you go As I see What I still love Leave me here Alone In this place… I Thought We Were As One Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2016/2017. |
