burning and learning.

if i could know

just where you come from

would it help me see

where you're going?

and here

now

face to face

i can feel the judgement in your eyes

as if you know

where i am from

or better

where i am

peering through these windows

i can't help but see

envy

for no reason

as i have nothing

of any use to you

yet i see you burning

before me

forgive me

for this comes as no surprise

nor is it difficult

to recognize

wouldn't mind learning

where

why

how

we ended up

here

in this space

with this tension

warping and twisting

the air around us

like alchemists

shaping and creating

myth and lore

as i am truthful

i must say

i have no judgement

nor contempt

ripping and slicing

through this thick air

i feel nothing

and as i watch you
approaching

this boiling point

i find it plainly

interesting

and although

i may not actually be

learning anything

doesn't matter

because it is not me

who is appearing

to be attempting

to make a point

and as you grow

more and more red

i will

very simply

be.
