It was on a Tuesday when [[I sent a message|screen]]
Asking you how you've [[been|Fear]],
Circling upon your own life, [[distant|Distance]]
Like a [[fairy tale|Face]] and I wishing I could
Permeate in-between the pages of your bookThe screen lies blank, the cursor blinks knowingly
That I would be incapable of summoning
The exact equivalent of how much I felt close to home
When I remember [[your face|Face]]
How then must I conquer these walls
If they are [[spaced far between us|Distance]]
Dancing through snapshots of [[your life|Face]]
Sent through a membrane that science has yet to define
I feel like I am just an observer of the treadmarks
Of where you've been, a historian of the minutes past
All your words distilled for effect and clarity
Whereas I would have gladly embraced
The [[chaos|Break]] of you
Tangled within the mass of meShould we then be forced
To [[replay|Regret]] over and over again the distant roads we have taken
Taking into consideration the [[fork|Fork]] we have walked upon
[[Gambling|Hope]] on the hopes that these lines do not run
Parrallel but intersect once moreBut, as with all things wanted and treasured we play
And we [[play|Play]] for keeps and for granted
Like little children given a gem, understood as something valuable
But lost in our small clumsy hands
Forgotten amongst a pile of toys that we never play anymore
Distant and pure, a memory of happiness [[tinged with regret|Regret]]
So we play
And we hope, that we'll know the rules by know
That we have grown into something more meaningful, instead of the
[[Mass of discordant choices|Choice]], and retakes that we have come to encompassFor we fear the final cost of the games we play
That in reality we are playing with something we cannot
Afford to lose
But at the same time we are also playing
With abandon
For the freedom felt is unlike anything felt, or shared before
And we spread our wings and [[we fly|Flight]]A hope of undoing the very act of burying our youth
Our unpretentiousness and our openness in the effort of seeming
Strong and well-adjusted with the help of the each other
We yearn to reanimate our dead lives
With a lot of [[laughs and giggles|Play]] and the awe of exploring the depths
Of something so benign as the backyard
Or better yet the bedroom
So we hope, of freedom
We hope of [[flight|Flight]] Twisting and turning within ourselves until we find out
That we are right all along, buried by our own egoes and the need
For self-appreciation, we lie blinded by the facts that we are
In truth blind, grasping along the walls of our very caves
Hoping to find the light to guide us home
Hoping that the light is held by the other in some sort of
[[Romantic fashion|Play]], never really understanding that
We carve our own lanterns out of the physical manifestation
Of our own regrets
Yet we try and we boast
We are proud and honest and we are both broken
But we grasp in search of an open field to take us somewhere
[[Soaring upon the very thought of each other|Flight]]So here I lay, asking myself
With all the things I have gambled and played with
And so come [[Wednesday|Wednesday]]Then with the efficiency of a murder you [[broke|pain]]
The very effect you implanted in me which I have made
My home in moments where I lay asking for the sun
I remembered your [[voice|Voice]] on that night, it didn't felt frail
Or shattered, nor anything which I might have imagined it to be
Excuse my lack of imagination, I was hoping that you might have been
[[Fighting|Fight]] the urge for the sake of things sharedI distinctly recalled you sounding firm and resolute
As if the desicion was already weighted and played out on a board
And the final logical [[conclusion|Think]] was brought forth
Under microscopic scrutiny and inevitability
You have summarized the things which we have built
To be so [[unattractive|pain]], a misprintThen the silence for which you assumed that I have nothing to say
And I do not want to speak out since I have the same notions as such
Wherein I was frantically gathering all the flayed and swept away
Grasping all that I could hold against the storm and finding out that
My hands are weak and I could not save the very shelter I have lived in
For so long against a deluge that warrants destruction as much as
[["I think this is not working anymore"|Think]]Had we not then shared together in building the very thing
Which you are now so hell-bent of destroying
So then I must assume that as before I'll be watching
The treadmarks you make while you so busily tear down
The memories that have held me close in [[comfort|Comfort]]The blame would be for me hence
For I have overstayed my welcome here
And I forgot the very notion that you are the very wind
The very earth, and the very sky
And I am but a person trying to encapsulate you inside
A small tinder box to hold to my own
So then I guess your freedom warrants more
Than the things I could open up, I could only just wished
That you have left the memories intact and glowing
Not a dim, sputtering bulb of what it was meant to be
For in your absence I have been left scrambling for the light
And in the darkness I have found none

<smalltext>
Experimental piece done by me during one of the idle moments of October, first time trying to write a non-linear poem and I don't know what to do with it and how to approach it. In hindsight, I just want to try Twine really and was too lazy to make this a prose opting for the shorter, more concise poem.
</smalltext>
[[Read|tuesday]]For I feared what I cannot know
How little were my knowledge of you
Mere holes poked at an impregnable wall
Mere glimpses into the sunshine where
Your rays pass through illuminating in slanted lines
The place where I hide
And so I [[poke|screen]] again, trying make a picture out of
A scattered collageShining amongst the inner reccessess of my memories
Tucked within my childhood runs across empty spaces
Arms flapping wildly in the wind, carressing my face
I feel free
I feel like the sun itself came down upon to plant a sly kiss
Knowing that forever can be contained in a moment
Replayed until the tape [[scratches and breaks|Break]]
Until what I have is a bright nostalgia that defines
YouAt which I stared at something that only vaguely registered as real
I was hoping that the dissolve I was seeing would somehow
Creep into my chest to slowly eat away the gnawing pain
Of loosing something that has kept you alive for so long
And then I sat asking myself
The many cliched myriad of questions
As if the answer is to be found if I could get a high enough grade
On a checklist
As if all the things that we took pleasure in together failed
Some sort of a quality inspection at the end of the conveyor belt
Discarded and thrown
I ask, who then endures the process again of being broken down
To bare minimum elements and then rebuilded again
Knowing that there is refuge and solace in being left alone as
A piece of [[waste|waste]]Which was then returned as something I could not recognize
A machinery which failed to found its purpose
Which is mainly to be held close in your arms and kept safe
An investment of opening up the vulnerabilities in hopes that
You wouldn't get too creative with the knife
Sadly I have found that it wouldn't fit anymore in my chest
As it has conformed to your [[hands|Comfort]]Had you forgotten then that time when looking into each other's eyes
We made a vow, I was carrying luggage full of everything
And at the same time nothing, looking on at the space where
We would walk in altered directions
But we choose to move on and try
In search of being the excemption to the rule we have observed
We were then sure that we are solid and somehow we will see
Some sort of happy ending
And we [[play|Play]]
