Catalyst

I have known two souls...

In knowing them
I LOST myself
In knowing them
I began to fly
In knowing them
I came undone
In knowing them
I was
remade
reclaimed
reduced
reused
In knowing them
Was danger
Yes...
In knowing them
Was intrigue
Oh...
In knowing them
The games they played
And they played
Without remorse
They felt it too
They thought
You see...
That it was me
That played
Instead
With them
And then
When we were both
Enmeshed
Entrenched
Engrossed
We became
Envious
Of ourselves
Because
We felt
You love me more
You should love
The ME I am
Not the me that's yours
You see
We were
So entwined
We could not even see
That he was me
And I was he
And what we hated
Envied
Scorned
Was the other
US we saw
We wanted to be
Loved
And yet
We were love
And we confess
We were blind
We lost ourselves
To each other
And envy grew
Because we knew
The other cheated
On us
With us
The US that was
The us they had
That we carried
Deep inside
The US that was
Ours to keep
The us that was
Fragmented
The us that we
Stole
In the dark
Recesses
Of our minds
The little pieces
Of self we kept
Of the other
To hoard
And peek
In fleeting and
Unguarded moments
And sigh in peace
Because we felt
Here you are
I have you...
See
And
Ignorance
We did not see
We lost each other
Because
We could not
BE...
Just simply
BE...
At peace
With
YOU
With
ME
As
WE...
