A Delusion

Where do you reside? Is it in 4 walls

Is it in a woman, some money, some clothes and golds?

Home has never been a physical location

At least not since getting kicked out suffering abrasions

But a state of mind will transcend these limitations

And a single look is all it takes, mind’s eye to mind’s eye

To shatter the reality of struggling to find a dollar or two

Instead, entering a dreamscape where we’re the only two

As the world dissipates behind us and all that can be seen

Is the comfort and relief of understanding

But history repeats itself, the eternal recurrence we’re doomed to persist

Bouncing around from home to home, searching for stability

Although the syncopated rhythm of chaos is what echoes

And vibrates throughout every path my feet fall

When the eye contact breaks and I’m brought freefalling back to earth

I had shared in your mind’s split, in your break

That as beautiful as that moment was, the reality was

I’m still in the street, belly still empty, and it’s getting dark
