Played the Two Worlds

Played the Two Worlds 04-05-2010

I've played the two worlds

an actor in both

the identical part

in a journey of growth

The first world so smooth

immaculate, pristine

a perfect bright smile

all-shaven, so clean

Lured by the shine

a beacon to my soul

disarmed by the kind

for once feeling whole

The beauty spouting promises

and compliments ten fold

then turns on a dime

and shows its deathly cold

Judgmental and cruel

rips my soul asunder

now used and disposed of

it moves on to another

The torturous limbo

floating in between

awaiting my next chance

to play my big scene

A new world in my grasp

More rough than clean

More real than the first

More absolute than pristine

More substance to this

More fondness to this

More caring to this

More promise to this

I let myself go

Give into this bliss

and feel a true connection

within every kiss

Between the two worlds

I cannot compare

but this one holds promise

and more acreage to spare

I finally know now

the difference it seems

between achievable reality

and unobtainable dreams
