Ambiguity

Our eyes reflect that certain uncertainty
Between you and me.  The never ending 
Obsessing over obscurity.  Adding, 
Subtracting to the mystification of—us.

We are defined with no meaning, 

But clearly comprehendible when several
Possible internal interpretations have
Brought an equally equivocal answer to the 

Perennial paradox of pleasure and pain, that leads
To a contradictory conundrum of the weary 
Wonderment of several potential possibilities 
With no deliberate intent to mislead or cause

Ambiguity.
