I love this quote. I wrote the poem below at a time where this really resonated with me on a level I had not experienced before. I opened my iPad to Instagram and this was the first post that came up and it was like BANG
We don’t see each other
You are out on one limb
I am out on another
Worlds apart
How did we start
I do nothing right
I do, I say
You snap, you bite
A free spirit, yes I am, I am
You are black and white
Is our love real
Or is it just a sham
That I often weep
Do you really, give a damn
If I am black, then you are white
We see things differently
We sometimes fight
Are we really meant to be together
It seems we are bound,
With some magical tether
Your physical, yes it still pleases
Aesthetically, yes
your attractiveness, it teases
It’s what is happening in our souls
There is a missing connection
Empty holes
Let me go, and we shall see
Will my heart miss you
Or will it see me free
Maybe there is someone new
Someone who accepts the real me
A real love for you
You are holding on oh so tight
It could be time to cease fire
Stop the fight
Find our way or just release
Let go of inner turmoil
Find some peace
You will always be a love of mine
In my heart
A light will forever shine
