Five

I want to watch the universe expand I want to break it into pieces small enough to understand And put it all back together again In the quiet of my private collection It feels like an out-of-body experience But something gets lost from a safe distance Now I can't put my mind to rest And I can't help but second guess Living behind this one-way mirror I'm hypnotized by this anomaly Such strange uncharted territory A white flag waves in the dark between my head and my heart My armour falls apart As if I could let myself be seen, even deeply known Like I was already brave enough to let go And now I want to generously lose this energy That I've been hanging onto so desperately I finally feel the universe expand It's hidden in heartbeats Exhales and in the hope of open hands
