Stranger to what I've always known,
These common courtesies feel alien.
Acting normally to what is demanded,
And that is how we have existed.

Drifted Apart
I still don't know
How many of your things
Are mine,
And how many of my things
Are yours.
I guess we'll have to
Contend with the fact that,
I knew you for a while.
And for a while
Is better than
Never at all.

Farewell
Stalling this departure,
Cause I know that
This is the last farewell
Between us.
Goodbye my friend.

Missing You
Crossing this world and others,
Searching for a version of us
Who survived together.
But we could never have stayed together
In any world that I can concieve.
I believe that that's the tragedy of it,
It was inevitable.

Doomed Reality
The path we follow
Among these hunters,
Will be our doom.
For our hearts are made of clay,
And for all our similarities,
Theirs are made of iron.

Death do us part
Crimes of passion run amok,
Spreading chaos through the land.
Yet this bubble of peace
We have found ourselves in,
Remains untouched.
We might not live forever,
Nor would I ever want to.
Yet for the time that I still live,
I will spend it with us together,
Until death do us part.

Expectations
Call me around to
Your point of view,
I'll sigh and just follow.
It's exasperating,
Infuriating,
Yet it's all I know.
Taking more and more,
I've given everything I have,
What more do you want of me?
– Arsh
Understanding
Claustrophobic expectations
Set the tone for how things will go.
Making things up just to
Set the score down evenly.
Understanding anomalies
Is a way to make us all insane.
Not everything has an explanation,
Evocative imageries live endlessly on.
– Arsh
Life
In this life,
There are no beginnings or endings.
The journey is
The only thing we have,
So let's make it worth it.
– Arsh
Reincarnation
What would reincarnation feel like?
Would I be glad for another chance?
Or would I miss my previous life?
Would it be a new beginning?
Or would it be another series of regrets?
I hope that I never have to know.
