Theory of Us

Theory of Us

A Poem by Acatalepsy
"

Dating is bleh and boyfriends are bleh. Girlfriends can be pretty bleh too. I have no clue what I'm saying it's 4am...

"

I sent you a song,

Not because I wanted you to like it..

But because I wanted you to feel it.

Every word that dripped from the artist mouth,

Had some way of relating to the theory of us.

Now whether or not our forever exists,

Right now time is increasing in this abyss.


The worth of us is only so limited,

Because despite our differences,

We find solace in our arguments.

Unfortunate.

The way you listen to music that sounds like metal gears grinding,

How these so called rappers spit truth when everything I’ve heard up to now,

Sounds like they’re trying hard to keep up a facade.

Everyday claiming that you want to grow up and be just like them…

That scares me more than bears.

And bears are pretty damn scary.


I try my hardest to keep an open mind,

Allow me once to enter this world of the new and modern times.

Even though alike in age,

My old soul has been around for decades.

I find art in almost everything.

Including that ugly music of metal gears grinding.

Not because I want to like everything you like

But simply because I want to be a part of what you like.

I want you to associate those feelings that you have when you listen to your songs,

To me….


The world within you is so beautiful,

Painted with colors of happiness, loneliness, pain and anger

Knowing you for as long as I have

I’ve noticed no one's ever really listened to you

In fact, in order to be heard you speak over those around you.

Now I find this absolutely annoying.

Simply because I am not a planet that revolves around your interests.

We are together.

In so allow us to communicate.

The flower never grew with only just water or sun.

But with the amount both had shared.

Equal to some degree,

However that’s the theory of us.

Reminds me of the struggle we all go through when we love someone but have to learn to accept that they their own person.
