cowardice

I saw the situation

I can read the look better than most

I sense beyond the obvious

 

You need attention

You need the affirmation

 

The structure is built the mortar appears firm.

Yet the simplest action

Removes whatever you consider stable

Shatters the foundation.

 

I wont strike it

is cowardice

 

It is the belief

That commitment to quality will be rewarded.

 

it is thinking believing

that once i repair

that which is wholly incorrect broken and in need of repair ...

 

Belief that in your fiefdom the world is sensible

 

Should I know that of the fairer *** ?

 

That I will be attracted to

That which I perceive and see

 

Yet ultimately will never correlate.

 

I crave

I yearn to touch

That which I build

Honestly all things begotten of my mind.

 

Yet so slowly

I must come to the understanding

 

I look too deeply
