for better context, there is a little poem under the cut that goes with the art:

17. But what about the conversations for the soul? (19-21.10.23)

Silly things, you and I

That’s what we are

Silly things…

Never knew what we had

Never took it for our own.

Always a step behind you

I was,

Lying awake in your shadow…

But I like to think I had a light of my own

I like to think I had a spark

A fickle thing

But there all the same.

Sometimes I had to produce some light

To survive in your dark,

Dark shadows

So then I became

Light.

But it felt heavy

It felt off

It felt like you gave me the Universe

All tangled up

And left me alone

Deal with it.

And I have

Oh, how I have

But in the end, it was not enough.

Mixed signals from the start

You tore away at my little bubble of existence

You dragged me head first into the Chaos

Into your chaos

And left me there

Alone

Deal with it.

Blue and gold,

That’s what we were

A sun lighting up the sky,

A sun hiding behind dark, water heavy clouds

But at the end of the day

At the end of every day

It has

At some point

To get dark.

But I’m not afraid of the darkness

Never were

Really

I’m only afraid of loneliness…

You filled up my every corner.

You took up space

In my reality

And I greeted you in

With open arms.

I greeted you like an old friend.

I greeted you like you would your wounded soul

When it comes home after the battle

Only to find blood stains on the floor.

Humble.

Grateful.

Excited.

Unprepared.

I greeted your light

I greeted your dark

I made space for you to sit comfortably in

And I was contempt.

I was happy.

What I didn’t understand

Not until long after you were gone

Is how I learnt to live through you

How I lost myself along the way

And now, it is so,

Oh, so hard to find a path

Which will never cross yours again…

ARE YOU HAPPY?!?!

ARE YOU PROUD?!?!

Are you in pain like me

Or have you already found a way to escape that?

Denying yourself feeling, aren’t you?

You’re denying yourself dreaming,

Oh, I know this only because

I know you.

And it would be so much easier if I didn’t….

… or maybe it wouldn’t…

I guess… I guess all this time

You were just in passing

You were never forever

You were only for a second

But what a beautiful second that was…

In the end,

Nothing lasts a lifetime

So, all that remains to be said is:

Thanks for stopping by

And please,

Don’t close the door when you step outside

So that others may come in and say Hi!

And, alas,

Goodbye.
