Baby's Cry.
There was once a time,
That I dreamed for what felt like eternity -
It was all too real,
And it left a long lasting curse upon me.
In my dream,
You appeared -
Harbouring a cold heart, but never a word.
A thought had crossed my mind -
"You and I only exist in a reality of non-existance."
So, take my hand and follow me -
Down an empty path where nobody can come between.
I think that for you,
The moment we met -
Was the start of it all.
I realise now,
That for me - it was the unavoidable end.
For a short time, we were alone -
Our hearts were hidden,
Beneath the scars that opened and bled,
Beneath the recurring nightmares -
That the two of us experienced together.
I always had the habit,
Of speaking your thoughts for you -
You see, you and I are the same,
Neither of us had been born yet.
We conquered this dream,
Our world -
Our very own existance.
I stand before you,
I see a glint in your eyes -
I know,
You and I are sharing the same thought.
I offer you my hand to take,
Maybe that moment was too late -
Because you only recoil, and send me off alone.
The darkness you and I were enveloped within,
Is the darkness that took me, and only me -
Shrouded within light,
And a gentle smile upon your lips,
You waved at me good-bye.
The spot where you had stood upon,
Suddenly appeared empty.
My selfish greed had gotten the better of me.
I had thought -
"What is the point of existing, when the two of us could have eternity?"
It was your time,
I continued down the empty path without you -
And I could've sworn that I heard a baby's cry
Ringing in my consciousness,
You have been born -
Somehwere I could never reach you.

Angi, I think that reincarnation is a substitute for lonliness and it is a trap, a wasted chance to progress. A good write at exporing the subject. Tommy
