this hell we've built

I am no longer searching for the end of the rainbow. I'm not looking for a treasure chest, no Prince Charming, not some perfect fairy tale ending. I am looking for a war. I want to see the world up in flames, brothers fighting with bloodthirsty vengeance, mothers who no longer care how many children they lose. I am looking for an end to this catastrophic, idiotic, symbiotic, toxic love affair. Because you reek of tragedy and I of sin and who is to say that love won't win? I want full blown destruction, large-scale nuclear fallout, death by the billions. I want to see the pain of this thing in your eyes, in my smile, plastered to our hearts. Because isn't that how we started? Isn't that how this was born? A bond conceived through peril and limitations, too-high expectations and poor communication. We can move on. We can start again. But, by the desolate sky and His backstabbing God, we know to taste the sweetness of peace on the ever-blowing wind, we must march through battlefields we have yet only dreamed of. So, no. I am not looking for Picture Perfect. I'm not striving for marriage-babies-happy ending. I'm looking forward to visiting Hell, to building a city of misfortune and terror, to dooming myself to live out most of my days in agony. It is the only way to you.
