The voices in your head

It is just you and me now
Don't you enjoy this eerie silence, this eternal stillness
I have been with you all along
through the secrets, though the heartache
I was there when the end was so near that you could taste it,
I was here when it all slipped away
I have seen your struggle, I have seen your desperation,
I have seen your deceit
There are no curtains here only shadows

But you did not come this far to only come this far
Nobody's life is perfect,
You just need a magnification glass to see the flows and the ebbs,
you may project strength to the world, but you cannot hide from me
You know you have gotten so far only because of providence
But was it really a cosmic power pulling the strings?
Was it good karma? Was it pious souls praying for your success?
Or was it all of the above and none of it?

We have a long way to go
As the cars jam the freeway and people jam the trains
as a new dawn ominously approaches,
the day beckons - come make of me what you will!
It is just you and me now
That's how it has always been.
