how do i belong
to you
when you do not
belong to me
how do we belong
to us
when both of us don't belong to"we"
of you and i and
we and us
and all the drama
and the fuss
when everything
settles down
it won't amount
to mush or much
so the point that
i allude to again
is that since we
are no longer us
why don't we take
a final ride
upon the
good-old-rickety bus
the bus that we
got on to once
and have traveled
thus far and glee
let us take that
route again
as you and i, no
longer we
and when arrive
those familiar stops
you go yours and
i'll go mine
for our hands
wont be again
like before,
intertwined...
I like the 'and' in the title, however it contrasts itself in the rest of the verse.
ReplyDeleteThat is what life is about finally, the roads we choose; the persons who join that ride, on the old rickety bus. No matter that they are are there at the end of the journey.
Sometimes, it IS is the journey that matters. No, make that ALWA?YS. :)
Even with the hint of poignancy, and much less mush... I find mush to rejoice in, in the emotions here :)
There was a you and I; and a we and us. :)
Though nothing is absolute black or absolute white but all are shades of Gray.. however this gray is bent towards the black side of spectrum !! Amazing composition *bows down* to these words with tremendous depth ...
ReplyDeleteThe turning point is here I suppose:
ReplyDeleteas you and i, no longer we
Though the words seem to be nonchalant, the poignancy is felt. There you win!
