In so deep,
the competitive spirit
consumed not only you,
but us.

Each day,
you hammered upon
each rising hope,
each small step forward.

Two worlds,
what you thought was light,
but was actually darkness,
overshadowed selflessness.

Some truths are felt,
not heard or seen,
have their own energy,
their own movement.

Just as the sun and the moon,
the stars, the oceans, the trees,
the animals, the people,
are apparent to all,

Truths, even hidden truths,
are apparent,
are not nonexistent
just because you say so.

You forgot how to live,
how to love completely,
if you ever knew;
that's what tore us apart.
