You & I Poem by Naveed Khalid

You're still the same as you've ever been
In my mind's eye, though far removed
From yourself the very image of you;
That I know not the man, nor need to know,
By whose arrow we two shall victim be;
And suffer as much as he alone hath suffered
At the expense of night's ink, all wrapp'd in darkness,
Which in words, who hath eyes enough to see,
Where uncertain scope of things most abound,
Is yet by one single ray of light revealed,
Whereupon I myself from myself should hide.
So I, my promise, hath kept, not by words,
But by false pretense to make believe it,
What exists not but in self-creat'd illusion,
Unknown, unseen secret of invisible world;
For words oft deceive us, bereav'd of light,
When with me thy much quot'd tale is writ,
I think not on thee, more or less than mine,
While in such thoughts I spend time with thee,
Love! how divided we live, but together die!
