Please Place Patience Upon My Palms

Why can’t you just be evil? Like my mind wants you to be: Unfaithful, shameful. I want to hate you! But you’re too kind and no matter you are always thankful of me and my song of desperation for pain and its un-winnable future. I know! A heart’s betrayal may come disguised as death bringing this return to memory of past regret, unyielding regret, this plan of me my only way out. Understand unending and what may be. Believe in the certainty of two hearts. Trust in the flesh and the way it feels on fingertips, lips... Trust love—it is real. Reinvent, Reimagine, Revamp!
