What Separates You From Me (On My Side) Poem by Dillon Gay

A wall of fire
Obstacles blocking to see
Shouting of a liar
This is what separates you from me

Through a key hole
Wall obstruct all I perceive
Pointing to misaligned rows
This is what separates you from me

Unsure of words
Guise of certainty proceeds
Begging me to come first
This is what separates you from me

You visit when I am alone
Step down and crush my glowing stone
Forge yourself upon my being
Influence factors I am needing

Break my window
Do not be ashamed to hide
You've lost all that's been told
This is what is required on my side

Stare through glazed eyes
I'll tear you apart to find
I am what you despise
This is what is required on my side

I've only seen you when you're by yourself
Trying to disguise your own else
Devour through the mason's rocks
You'll need it long before heaven knocks

I never thought you'd come again tonight
I'm here alive as you are
I never thought you'd help regain my sight
You've come by yourself so far
But I don't understand how it can be
It's quite simple, really....

I am you
You are me
