Mitosis

i'm split in two;

an exact replica on the outside,

my code is all the same. 

 

the original me;

who knows which piece,

you'll have to tear me apart to just see. 

 

she was so happy;

thought of life like an amusement park ride,

where now it's just live or die...black or white. 

 

the other me;

hidden in shadows, cast away,

scared to be myself. 

 

let alone let anyone see

both those sides of me,

but happy is who i'll be...

    We run back to your house,

    The lights are still on,

    And they cover your freckled face,

    Like it's the sun.

     

    The grass brushes our feet,

    And the wind catches in your hair,

    We sit out on the sand,

    The fog covers the sky,

    And blankets the world,

    Like a shield. 

     

    The waves nip at our feet,

    The water's cold

    But I'm warm because you hold my hand,

  • observation i

    We stand on the dock,

    The sun has set,

    But I can see your happiness 

    Even in the dead of night.

     

    The streetlight's on,

    The metal is all rusted

    And covered in salt,
