As I’ve failed
To write out the past
He tried
As I’ve tried
Not to use her name
He talked
As I’ve talked
Of the endless longing
He went
As I went
In search of himself
He returned
As I’ve returned
As if as the same man
We both have companions
True love by our sides
Yet still our ego’s battle on
He was
As I was
Unceremoniously dumped
He sort of remembered
As I sort of remember
A steamy passionate affair
He revisited
As I revisited
All those places of lust
He often listened
As I often listen
To the inner voices
He tore
As I tore
With raw anguish
We both have companions
True love by our sides
Yet still our ego’s battle on
He crashed
As I’ve crashed
Towards oblivion
He regained
As I’ve regained
Some of the senses
He laughed
As I’ve laughed
At himself
His search
As my search
Carries on
His doubts
As my doubts
Remain ever doubtful
We both have companions
True love by our sides
Yet still our ego’s battle on
She too, invisible but always apparent
Absent yet with the strongest presence
Driving but never driven, steering
Yet never to reappear
We both had lost lovers
Dystopia’s to re-enact
For which our ego’s battle on
