The Orphan and The Thief

The Orphan and The Thief

Remember this December the orphan child says to me, the flowers I give you are only yours to see, give up your time
Now, we can rise again.
Through the harsh nights I must admit I really wish I had a single friend but we mustn't take for granted the misery that the gods create.
This life is a blessing for even the sad eyes radiate an unquenched love and a longing for compassion, it's our crumbling minds that latch onto any sort of negative reaction.
It's our sliding hearts that slip into the moments we've run over 200 times in our heads, lay peacefully your worries and put these crazy scenarios to bed.
Please don't ask me to explain the hurt of the soul or the turmoil of the brain for it must go unknown till that which you embody is six feet under and your restless thoughts are set down in their endless slumber.

Thief: I understand the loneliness I suffer every night and my thoughts are guided by a single light in the middle of the room that mocks me with unrealized dreams and the lack of material things.
I know material things are not the be all end all but there's a limit
I had my passion I had my fantasies but the rich man killed it.
It's unfair that we starve in the palms of the flaming sun while they lie in riches galloping in a ocean of fun!
I'm dying and I haven't got a dime, I sold my health for some change, I gave them all my happiness, I gave them all my time.
I'm dissolving before your very eyes and nobody bothers to share any love.
What can I possible do
They toss out the old and bring in the new.

Orphan: You've used up all of your lies,
Open the window and throw out your goodbyes.
You're not the pity case you think you are, you're playing your role so stick to your part.
The sewage that you stand in has a drain in the floor that you've never bothered to see but it's you who keeps asking for more, it's you who's locked yourself away and planted down your feet for this is where you want to stay.

Thief: You don't know the words that are vomiting out of your mouth I've tried endlessly but things always seem to go south.
I have no one.

Orphan: I've never had anyone by my side and my whole purpose in life is to survive,
Sometimes I wish things were different but they never seem to change so naturally I saw it was my views I had to rearrange.
Yes there's blood that spills from my heart but I use that same blood and I craft it into art, this is my greatest achievement to be in my misery but to never believe it, to never succeed in it.
My truth is your fear but can you ever let yourself go in the eyes of society and just be here?

Thief: Yes, but how will I eat, how will I survive my days
I know there's a flaw in my bothersome ways but how do you propose I survive?

Orphan: Live in the now and one of these days you'll arrive
And you'll be where you need to be
But as for now you're stand here talking to me so don't be so down look at the clouds, look at the trees.
There's infinite beauty if you wipe away your tears and see,
So just stand here with me and see.
