Realistic uncertainty

What is it that you see?
It is an illusion
or is it me?

Reality isn't always kind
and fantasies
can be deceiving.

Is my reality
shared by yours?

Are your illusions
intertwined in mine?

Two futures progressing
at different rates.

Is a future together
an illusive state?

For it will unfold
uninterrupted by me.

A submissive role
of one that's not free,

For pain
I do not cause
with speculative thoughts.

Uncertain I sit
to ride out the wave.
