Poem – Disconnected

Randomly decided to write a poem while at my parents, after doing some sketches and waiting for laundry to finish… oh and it was at one in the morning… which probably explains alot.

I think I still have some emo in me Seriously though, it explores some themes on connection, friendships, lost relationships, some of which I know personally some which I know others who have gone through so its not all about me. Anyway, random poem…

Disconnected

Once we were,
Connected.
But that was then,
This is the now.
Now however,
We are distant,
I am distant,
Removed,
Alone,
Disconnected.
We pass,
We exchange,
Those trivial things,
But I cant connect,
I can not allow it,
Must remain,
Disconnected.
Its for the best,
Its for me,
Its selfish,
Its for the best,
I remain distant,
I remain apart,
Its easier,
Its selfish,
Its for the best,
Less complicated,
Less chance of mistakes,
Less chance of failure,
If we just stay,
Disconnected.
When I see you,
When we talk,
I force back the dreams,
Its for the best,
For to risk is to lose,
Loss is failure,
Failure is pain,
Pain is too constant a reminder,
A reminder of being so,
Disconnected.
Perhaps its not the best,
Perhaps failure,
Perhaps the pain,
It leads to growth.
Where one connection dies,
Where one connection ends,
Where one connection goes another way,
Another connects,
Another becomes closer,
Another interweaves itself.
Connections,
Complex,
Intricate,
Delicate.
Disconnection,
Is not the option,
It is against our nature,
It is not for the best.
We are a connected people,
Interwoven into each other,
A patchwork of connections,
A complex,
Incomprehensible,
Beautiful,
Mess of Connections.
But still,
We can be,
Disconnected.
Its not an easy choice,
Its not an easy path,
To maintain,
But its worth it all,
Its worth the struggle,
Otherwise,
When the last connection is severed,
And we are truly,
Utterly,
Completely,
Disconnected,
We will find the one truth,
That all we want,
Is to be,
Connected.
