A Paradox Conundrum
The sands of the tumultuous rain drops,
Graced my eyes to the brim with tears,
Splotched memories behind my eye lids,
Like a finger print you stuck on my mind,
I found love in the poison even though it wasn’t truths,
Unbeknownst to the impending tragedy,
I pressed on, ignoring the slightest signs,
It didn’t matter at first but the window was caving in,
Cracking, loosing its quality,
Like an old negative film, the pictures came out of focus,
The demons swirling within the depths of my irises,
Were like pulsing streaks of sunburned screams of wanting you back,
Transfixed by a mirage of love, seeing the world through the blackened kaleidoscope,
I was left stranded on an oasis, going down a new darkened lifeline, without you.
The spiral downward is a broken laddered step,
Each step caves underneath our broken love, the balance lost.
Where’s the remedy? When will this nightmare end?
No feeling left in this eroding chemistry, 1 + 1 just add me and you
But the math is lost in the darkened glow of our lost love
Wish I could reverse engineer the love we had,
Find what made us break
Find the reason why the universe doesn’t want us to be.
Find why you don’t love me.
Find the antidote to my aching heart.
