Enemy

"Consider the work of God, For who can straighten what He hath made crooked?" -Ecclesiastes 7:13 We are closer now as enemies than we ever were as friends. What is this thing between us, silent cold and cruel? simply strangers. Two parts of a certain conversation between strangers. In fact, there are many strangers. A thousand million parts of this conversation, This rebellion. You are requesting entrance into an impersonal though intricately connected coalition of leaders... Wild. and Lonely The world is a solid white block of marble created for your hands to alter, and requiring of your own terrible signature. In the attempt to foil your arrogant endeavors, I have fallen foolishly in love with you. This is the idea, the emotion. The lust for immortality. A dream I lived for a life I dreamed. Get back, beautiful enemy of mine. You've come too close.
