I need you to understand something. I wrote this for you. I wrote this for you and only you. Everyone else who reads it, doesn’t get it. They may think they get it, but they don’t. This is the sign you’ve been looking for.
You were meant to read these words.

The Ornate Cage
You see suns that never were and stare at skies that don't exist. You listen to songs that were never played and read books that were never written. And your mind is so beautiful and full. But I'm glad it's not mine.
You remind me all the time that I'm phantasmagorically different in an extraordinary manner and that my mind is more than beautiful that even I can comprehend. And for all this, I can only say thank you and wish for more time with you.

For some reason, my first thought when I saw this photo was "Darth Vader"

My mind is like that sometimes. I'm glad, too, that it's not yours.
My mind is really full. Sometimes I want to let go, but right now, I'm glad it's mine, not yours.

"Someone trapped inside someone else.
ReplyDeleteJust like everyone else." -pleasefindthis
And I am so jealous, because deep down I believe that your 'non-existent' is richer than the plain one I see...
ReplyDeleteSo simple, but very profound. Beautiful. =]
