Close Enough To Feel, Although Unreal

Love is false to those like I 
Whimsical enough to dip their feet in such dangerous waters

Confiding our faith in one presumed to hold our heart 
Overlooking our indecisive nature

Intoxicated with, but oblivious to the ignorance
Of the concept of forever, with them
Holding close-fistedly onto the hand that only knocked you down

The desire for them painfully develops from craving into a longing urgency
A misguided belief gone amiss
Mutualism for the other nonexistent in their intangible eyes

Spiraling in a mutilated defeat seems fit the exclusive option 
Once brought to consciousness of your now brutal reality
You were doubtless in your supposition

For a second you were conclusively unequivocal 
That you were close enough to possess and proclaim…their Love
