A Means To An End

Posted by Michael Maul on 7/27/2025 10:09:38 AM
Chimes of your heartbeat ring in my ears. When sensation evades the disabled the night never seems to end. I am the seducer of truth. What truth can be found in the primitive emotion belonging to the betrayed? If the winter brings relief from a summer of pain then I shall look on the snow as a friend. What of a love created out of obligation? My loneliness is eclipsed only by my need for connection to a love that is unattainable.

To me, there are a lot of good ideas here jumbled together. They need to be teased out a bit and explored more - I don't feel the connection between them - but maybe that's what the last line is about? :) I like the analogy of looking on snow as a friend to overcome a summer of pain.
