Paradox:

you are the terrifying beauty in all things,
i am constantly haunted by your everything,
yet i know you cannot be true.

when did a smile so smoked shrouded,
become so entangling in my mind?

say something new,
you benevolent witch,
so i can sleep at night now knowing
you are but aren't existing in something else.

without you i am everything, because you are everything.
with you i am nothing, because you are nothing.
