Fractals

Pulled into

Another dream that isn’t mine

The thread gone through

The silver needle’s eye

And sewn back to you

Only to be ripped apart

One heart, now two

So do we get what we deserve

Or are we

Made of nothing more

Than fractals of light

Shooting in the dark

Moving faster

Than we ever have before

We’re chasing after

A glimpse of all that we adore

A moment of calm

My touch on your arm

Whispering sleep now, sleep now

The river’s flowing backwards

And everyone’s an actor

In too deep now, deep now

Reaching for the surface

Crying out for purpose

So do we get what we deserve

Or are we

Made of nothing more

Than fractals of light

Shooting in the dark

You and me

We’re just plots on the curve

A shining

Spectacle to observe

Spiraling fractures on a silver arc

So how many more ways can

You cut me out just to

Bring me to life

And how many more times will

I subdivide before

I’m not the sum of my parts

And you don’t recognize me anymore

So do we get what we deserve

Or are we

Made of nothing more

Than fractals of light

Shooting in the dark

You and me

We’re just plots on the curve

A shining

Spectacle to observe

Spiraling fractures on a silver arc

Sleep now
