do you know...?

[evasearchin]

Do you know what it is like to have loved
You in your youthful diatribe
Where "You" and "I" vanish in to the ether
To become this terrifying "us".

Do you know what it is like to have lost.
You in your youthful diatribe,
Where day and night vanish in to the ether,
To become this mournful cry.

Do you know what it is like to have lived,
You in your youthful diatribe,
Where months and years vanish in to the ether,
To become bitter memories of time gone by.

Do you know what it is like to have felt shame;
You in your youthful diatribe,
Where you wish You could vanish in to the ether,
To become invisible in the blackness of the night.

Do you know what its like to feel a loved ones sorrow;
You in your youthful diatribe,
Where you wish their pain could vanish in to the ether,
To become yours; if it makes them whole again.

What do you know?
You in your youthful diatribe;
Your harsh judgements and laughter will vanish in to the ether,
To become the wisdom you wish you'd never gleaned.
