i think we have two cancers when we try
to pull our lives apart
the divorce of our souls embitters
the protest of our hearts.
im a passive agressive wad
of passion and fear
the former keeps me up at night
the latter keeps me here.
i keep regretting things that don't matter
and forgetting things that do.
i regret the last thing i said
i've forgotten why i loved you.
i'm not fit to be a hero
all my friends are strangers to me
and we're all trapped in something
auditory modality.
they sent me out on broken limbs
to preach to the happy few
who love this blasted wear and tear
maybe this smile is a bruise too.
there was a time when i knew my cruelty
everyone's built a hero out of expectations
may you never have to fight too much or too little
here's to self-realization

joy has its own justice. and dreams are languid and lawless. and everything bows to beauty, when it's fierce and when it's flawless...

What insight to your heart you have shown in this piece written so very well. No true hero ever wanted to be!

MTW? Magnificent! my eyes nearly fell out of their sockets when I saw you had posted

Thank you.

Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.

"i keep regretting things that don't matter
and forgetting things that do."

applauding you yet again here.

and I guess before "self-actualization" there has to be self-realization...

You write from a place of personal honesty that I admire much.

Sorry love

This was how your words danced for me

Dave

I danced for you with my ideas shaken in your face

Now you dance for me shaking yours in mine

Are we really supposed

To live like this
