Misunderstanding

Innocence scrawled on a blindfold, "Unfair" whispered from within. Two subjective perceptions of the objective; Two dreams disguised as reality. Eyes glazed over with self assurance you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong. and now I'm sorry. Excuses emerge from hidden willful blindness, Searching for the core - where misunderstanding sits; Two mouths moving, saying nothing. Four eyes staring at the same painting, seeing different things. Two hearts so submerged in cement that they've forgotten to beat. The poisonous fog clears and drips onto our worlds melting all that we've built, but instead of taking everything, it's waken us up.
