I look to the West

Feel the Weight

Of the World

Upon my chest

When I exhale

When I inhale

The rhythms of

The East prevail

When I lie down

When I lie down

Next to you

More than you know

You are the life

Chosen to flow

Through my veins

In secret we meet

Not on street corners

But in shadows

Of the internet mind

Which is relentless

In judgement

More like

Cold War spies

Than democratic

Friends

More than you know

More than you know

You are the life

Chosen to flow

Through my veins

When I lie down

When I lie down

Next to you

Danger is inherent

Our future is spent

Already lost

To a pack of lies

But when I’m with you

The past is gone

The only moment

That exists

Is now.

We’ll be together

Some way…

Some day…

Somehow.

Until then,

We play

Shadow games

In the park.

Meeting

In the dark.

The only reality

That exists

Is when

I lie down

I lie down

I lie down

Next to you…

East can’t meet

West…

As the dawn

Greets the sun…

Until this war

Is done.
