CLEANING OUT THE ATTIC I FOUND MYSELF TALKING TO BOTH OF YOU

1.
You wanted to have me
Without holding me

I was supposed to ensure
for you
the security of a future
built to your convenience
You were supposed to ensure
for me
a compensation in the present
for the sake of my solitude

I wanted to have you
without letting you be


2.
You wanted to hold me
so I would hold you

You didn't know who I was
It didn't matter, I was there
I never knew you either
It didn't matter, you were there

Maybe it was only a need,
or rather, two?


3.
We thought we were looking at the future
when we were only looking at ourselves

Mirrored passions
Mirrored sensuality
Mirrored egos

4.
The game was
promise what it could be
promise the infinite promise

But after the promise
the present remains
heavy with words

The lightest thing on Earth
is Faith
