There will be a day 

When you'd take me along

To all the nameless places you go

I wouldn't have to wait to see you then

Because I'd be where you are

I'd see the same things you see

I'd hear the same cries you hear

There are broken chains everywhere

I'm unbound by the thoughts that cage you

They dance around me in funny ways

I see patterns but I refuse to make them mine

You are flirting with them like you always do

Unsure whether to let them in or just die out

I know you observe me from a distance

I know you are in pain

I've been through it all

It's the same things we are running away from

It's the same shores we are sailing toward

You have strong oars and stronger arms

I am weak and the waves are rough

But my soul has weathered tougher storms

It has found strength through all the weakness

To wade through the mysteries in your mind

To brush aside the futility you utter in myriad ways

I am left with no obvious solutions

Even when I'm the one weaving the problem

You try to make sense of me 

In ways you have perfected over time

It soothes you for a while 

Because failure is something you can't accept

But truth is fiercer and it will bite back

From the explanations you've given yourself

I don't claim to know the reality of things

But at least I don't belittle it by oversimplifying

Where are you?

I just want to see you

Come to me

Please?
