Now I Understand

Her whispers of "I love you" echo from the arms of another man bitter retreat into deceptions womb remains the only thing I understand for it is there consistency reigns mere insanity becomes sound lost in a chaotic bliss never wanting to be found yet I raised my hand toward the simmering light wondering what it would be like to experience something so bright sayers spoke of getting burned warned about passionate flames of blue such wisdom never held an ear nor a treacherous fallacy like you her whispers of "I love you" echo from the arms of another man bitter retreat into deceptions womb remains the only thing I understand.....
