Alone together

by Alice

By Alice Published 4 months ago 2 min read

My name is X and I’ve been stuck on this planet since I can remember

It’s a simple planet, white and shiny

It’s a boring planet, round and tiny

I’ve seen all of it over and over again,

I’ve wanted to leave more and more each day

You can’t blame me : there’s nothing to do there

I am really lucky that I have my brother

I have a twin brother, he’s like my other half

No one nows me better; we’ve followed the same path.

But he never talks: he doesn’t have a voice

He tries, his lips move, he just can’t make a noise

So i tell him stories, we keep each other company

We have the same memories, he’s my only family

I love him more than anything, and if one day we get to leave

I know we’ll still share everything, and finally live our dream

My name is X, and tomorrow I’m leaving this planet forever

I did a lot of thinking, and made my decision

I don’t know where I’m going, I have no destination

All that matters is I’m leaving, I’m gonna see something new

And of course my brother’s coming, it’s the world against us two

I wanna see him happy, I wanna see him smile

We’re finally gonna be free, and see what the world is like

Tomorrow were jumping, off our planet,

I’m not scared of falling ,i know we’ll land somewhere

I see all these other globes, everywhere in the sky

We’ll just go on one of those, hope to live a better life

My name is X, and today, I’ll finally discover

What it’s it like outside

After all this time

I’m a little nervous, but I won’t change my mind,

I take a deep breath, my brother’s by my side

And then thats it, I let myself go

And that’s when I see it, I feel my heart drop

My brother staring at me back

From the planet he’s still at

I realize I was stupid

To mistake him for my twin

Cause i see it from there

That planet was a mirror

And the twin who shared my prison

Was nothing but my reflection
