Mar 2016
I used to believe in her,
Forever
Until life through her tantrums
Left me sore
It couldn’t possibly exist

After all
Who could bear it
Such commitment
With no life boats in sight

Half the planet seemingly oblivious
Unheeding vessels
The other half simply not worthy
Such imperfect vessels
None a vessel to pour myself into,
Forever

But see my eyes couldn’t see
Beneath the charm
Forever sounded so surreal
So calm and collected
So perfect

Until she opened my eyes
The bottomless pit
Forever
Revealing all, but barely enough
The entire time screaming
I am not synonymous with perfect
Perfect is boring

I am painful chaos
Sweet forgiveness
Soft magic
And more
Tag along
We have forever to find out
