A Rumination Appertaining Unity

We claim to love but foolish pride swallows apologies wrecks reconciliation and forgoes forgiveness rendering sweetness bitter it is an emotional hoarder an insatiable sin incessantly collecting resentment commoditizing the priceless bankrupting unity and burning optimism to ashes it is an assassin’s bullet shattering the windows to the soul it is a death kiss pernicious and ubiquitous convinced of its infallibility and yet the ego is a manifold deception a blindfold masquerading an x-ray high octane recklessness eviscerating progress it is arrogance mimicking affirmation lending mystery to the vacuous self-centered gibberish rippling into infinity and stripping love of its gist it is delusions of grandeur parading naked through town square and fooling the fool alone
