both of me

if i were two, both of me would feel just as tired tonight. darker than the starless sky, colder than ice, lonelier than one.

you see, i am no more than one. a me inside a me.

the one who is like me is me.

but if i were two, i said, both of me would be just as exhausted yes tonight.

now that i am not two, leave alone three or four, i have to take it all accompanied by my shadow. thanks to the dim light that gives life to my shadow.
