Pil – The You in ME

 

Can’t you see this isn’t the idea

You were meant to be like me

and not me like you.

But the universe said something different

and here I am…

Being, like you I am

It’s still here though the idea of you

in me. I can see, physically, that I am like you

through genetics and science and whatnot

we share the same blood, you and I

So like you am I.

But where does it end this link to each other

Can you see me as I see you

In the mirror we are the same you and I

Your face is my face

Can you feel this as I stitch your name across my chest

Your name… Our name…

Try as I might I am like you

Your life is my life

Your heart is my heart

and through this we are linked,

you and I.

Me and You.

    John, you cease to amaze me. I cannot help but put myself and my own father as the two characters in this poem (at least that’s how I see the poem).

    “So like you am I.” = genius
