Unfiltered truths

This pain that draws us closer has revealed so much

I have never understood why these thing happen

The life of tension in our hearts pushing us to break all concepts

yet our wisdom tells us the truth behind what can actually hurt

To be smart, to be ethical, morally correct?

 

I burn you when I touch your skin

I dissolve when you breath me in

You nibble away at my heart

biting and scratching, leaving a permanent mark

I won't walk away with out a bruise

But the bruise is beautiful, because it came from you.

Is there any wonder as to why fate can be so cruel?

Spinning us along, that string of agony on a corrupted spool

I shouldn't have made our love in plain sight

I should have been quite

I should have lied about it

Something, anything, everything besides what I did

Now we look at each other with love

But it's a Tantalus love. Never grasping. Wishing to be dead.

 

I want to be with you

You want to be with me

I'm leaving

You're staying

We still don't feel free

I see you now

And you see me

Our filters are gone and all we have is vulnerabilities

We know what we can do and what we can't

I wish I could do more than this poetry rant
