The power behind two words
was never inherently known
a construct of our own design
meant to be taught, felt
but never understood
open to interpretation as the words
that I write so tirelessly
to find an inch of meaning
but ultimately failing
for to understand how I feel
is to solve the great mystery
that keeps me here, where I belong
behind pen and paper
searching for the answers
that I don’t want to know
but thirst for anyway
because there never was
a contrast so intense
yet a similarity so beautiful
than love, hate
all around me
a nakedness so divine
that fills my brain
and sees my madness complete.
