Enjoying creature comforts
Is by no means the reason for my existence.
But my oh my,
How they make the load of life
So much more bearable.

I just want you to know
I never viewed this thing we have
Through rose colored glasses.
I never looked at us through the doe eyed,
Pink lens of a love struck girl.
I see you as your desperate, real, messy self.
I see every crack and missing piece you have
And I burn for you anyway.

I know I can’t keep you..
But I’m going to enjoy every second while you’re here.

I speak lightly ‘round certain ears
For though they listen
They do not hear
So my lips I mute
My words I keep
The shallow, you see
Can never comprehend the deep

An infestation
Roaches defy purity
Yet it continues
