The Other Life

                                                                         

If I had a life outside the life I have, tonight,

It still wouldn't be life enough

To justify my dying, out of this life, into it.

That I don't makes it easier to avoid the dilemma,

Sidestep having to make such a life-altering change,

Start all over again,

Forming an identity capable of sustaining relationships,

Opening my emotions, to intimacy and pain.

 

Perhaps, it's all for the best, that I let my spirit wither,

Make no effort to revivify it,

Rather remain withdrawn, allow this life to expire,

From my fractured soul's ineradicable loneliness,

Because, tonight, I sense the life outside the life I have

Beckoning me, with visions of another life

With another life outside of it

Infinite lives existing outside infinite lives.
