Contradictions

A poem I wrote and decided to post. Rate if you want. Message me if you find my insanity amusing.

By this time breathing is a strenuous activity and my heart

Is already beating too fast for anyone’s words to even matter

Maybe staying demands too much of me

It’s my own fault for involving my self in such affairs as desire and oaths

But his eyes are so real and his voice?

Merely a distraction from his exquisite eyes

Of course coveting such perfect imperfections

Could lead to strife among other things…

Should I live with my happiness or his?

Purely a question to those who realize

That being blind to emotions

Just makes them more adept to feeling them

Maybe it’s best that I address the issue head on

What could be harder than facing a fear of fear?

Nothing. Everything. Oh, I don’t know…

It could be that I’ve finally forgotten

My place and only need to redirected back to the herd

Where all my broken dreams lie

After all, impurities such as mine are just the first step

In believing that there is more sitting behind the curtain

Just waiting to be found, to be loved

This malnourishment of joy usually instigates vast over confidence of the psyche

I should know

I tried making acquaintances with the locals that sold their own families

But like all performers, I was magnificently foolish in the first rehearsal

Thinking I would never be discovered for who I was

Before the clock decided it was time to depart

“Eleven chimes gone, one more to endure!” it sang

I couldn’t blame it really

It must be hard keeping track of time for those who waste it

Much like me, the clock knows sadness, disappointment

Though the magnitude of its knowledge leaves much to be desired

A pity to those that care, perhaps?

Only a true master if the art of convictions would truly know

The answer to such a thing is hard to understand or even find

As it is to be believed

Looking into his eyes now, I’m faced with answers to questions along with their contradictions

If life were meant to be so pessimistic and cheerless

The gods would have demolished us from existence long ago

So the remaining matter at hand? Should I leave or stay for the sake of sanity?

Leaving is a far better choice of the two but I care too much for his contentment

“We’ll always be together!” he smiled placing his hand on mine

Surely, such a lovely thought could no cause me that much harm?

Forever by the side of the one you truly love and cherish above all else

Yes, an objective worth looking forward to I’m sure…

Or maybe not
