Adrift

I am an educated fool
tearing myself in two
for me
and you
and you
and you too
from Monday to Friday

consider this.

it is exhausting
to make you think
my thoughts as
the heat dissolves our brains
and dignity
because you are
where you hate to be
and i am where
i should have never been.
(maybe)

that love is gone
but i can feel it
when my mind touches
your invisible heart
pushing you
to distant wor(l)ds of fire.
How far can i push you after noon?
how far can you go without me?

I am an educated fool
playing by the rules
that split myself in two
but who will help me
and save you,
you,
and you too
