I told you
things change
or they fade
Is that why you’re so far away?
Is that why
we’re frozen in time?
Everything’s unsure,
that’s the guarantee.
Me and you
you and me
we
stay right where we were.
Is that
a blessing
or a curse?
I never knew
what was worse,
with you
or without
and now
I’m walking around
with these two ghosts
we’ll never move
forward
we’ll never let go
we’ll never be less or more
we’ll never know…
the test
the trick
is to
rest here
till we’re forced to
melt
or move.

I know you’ve noticed the weird formatting so I won’t do much more than mention it with a little grin.
You know first impression the orientation (accidental I’m assuming) gave a kind of conversational effect to it. As though the centered and left aligned were different people.
I reread it way intentionally holding that perspective, and then again without. Both ways it’s an interesting read. I get this one really… another ‘been there.’
Fantastic poem.

It was accidental at first, and then I liked it, so I played with it a little bit. Glad you liked it.
