Moments die Wake up Falling, ever readily into the mind’s eye With only desperate hope in the soul To cling, with all each fiber of the innermost of your being
Why is it that we must struggle so hard To keep in your eyes the things that we know? The notions gathered through careful study Why, I ask, does good have to fade, like day Back into night, with each waking?
Why must reality betray the truth?
Fixate on the feeling… obsess its contours… I know the way we ought to be I know the way things ought to go I know the truth So why can’t I love you?
This poem is in addition to Monologue. It could, perhaps also be called "Monologue Pt. 2," so I suggest reading this one in conjunction with the original. If you want to understand everything I'm talking about.
