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
