We Are All So Wrong

Let us examine life—the in-betweens—the fields of hatred; for I rarely address you, this bundle of passions—this furious woman; but what was death, but a scar to flesh, as paranoid as a phone call. We lived as phantoms, vying for secrecy, enlove with make-believe; to finally die, a child as a friend, to convey but a portion of truths. We loved a riddle, this feigned glory, the story of our lives; to grieve for seconds, as churning in hatred—this vixen as an inner moth. I come to you broken, at odds with self, as vulnerable as a toddler; to have but moments, these feral dreams, as achieved in fantasies; wherewith, are pleats, this skiing of pains, as engrained as virginities; to have this cliff, a leaping of fools, as given glory to a swan.     You hate in rage, as a mirror running, to refuse accountability; but what is life, but terrified tears—this mission of horrified truths; to dance as giants, as filled with demons—this path fraught with turmoil.     It must exist, this need for truths, else our souls are petrified.     I plead an inner you, to know for treasures, as one that ruined a cave; wherewith, are fevers—this inner mirror—to awaken in a cold danger. I could but love us, for the sake of our swan, but pain grieves through reason; to lurk upon self, this inner chamber, as wrestling introjects; for this is life—the grandest deaths, as cherished by the unknowing; to perish a victim, to carry this scar, as knowing for folly. It couldn’t be real, a myriad of deaths, as feeling high upon a horse; so what is love, to have but a moment, to know that all is conditioned? I grieve for souls, as the measure of detriments—according to this evil fate; but let us examine, the torn goodbyes, plus, the fleshly wounds. It couldn’t be life, as confronted by skylights—that reflect upon these conscious selves; for reality lives, the angst of our souls, screeching and screaming against our actions.
