PARADOX IS BLISS!

Suddenly you are losing the things you’ve taken for granted.
And lo! you do not even realize why.

All this time, all you can think about is yourself.
All that you care doing is to exile your friends from who they are and who they should be.
You are turning them into something they’re not and something they shouldn’t be.
And though it is never your intention, you force them to choose between you and their goals.
It is such a pain that you keep failing to notice since you can’t stop looking at yourself in the mirror.

Your eyes are closed to their radiant souls.
Your ears are closed to their stories.
You wish to be witnessed yet neglect to witness.
The life of others. The souls of others. The heartaches. Forever alien.
Thus you will always be alone.

I feel sorry for you.
But to whisper on you is to kill you, and that I need not do:
You’re already doing it all on your own.

I am your friend.
Always waiting, forever ignored.
The night feels so cold beneath the dome of stars. And they are crying.
You made promises and you keep them at the last possible moment.
And I lie in wait as pieces of me that’s reserved for you breaks little by little.
Soon I shall no longer be there for there will be nothing left of me .
All the pieces are carried away. By the wind. By the wind.
When I am no longer there for you, will you at last look away from that mirror?

Friends don’t blame each other, and I am your friend.
Thus once again, the burden is mine.

Smile, dearest friend, and respect.
Or hate, and fade.
