In my darkest moments,
I sit here in the shattered mess
that is my home, and wonder
How it came to this,
when two minds,
two bodies
are required for what happened.
But seemingly, apparently;
Only one heart.
s eeing you dance was
like taking a last breath and
dying, happiness m aking you smile is
like floating; ocean water.
peace flows from within w atching you with them
taste of ash as I pretend;
the smile lights the masque
The same as meIf I stripped away our colour
We'd be the same
Because it's only on the outsideIf I stripped away our religion
We'd be the same
Because it's only on the outsideIf I stripped away our experiences
We'd be the same
It's on the inside, but it doesn't matterIf I stripped away the dangly bits
We'd be the same
Because that's really just biologyIf we stood on the same soil
We'd be the same
Because that doesn't matterSo why then:
With so few things different
And so many the same
Do you taunt?
Do you persecute?
Do you kill?Because you do it only
To yourself, in different clothes.
