If ever...
There was a story of a shattered illusion
At least The colours sprawled out on the floor
Would resemble some vague monet
you couldnt quite put your finger on
The travesty of broken comfort
of trying to attain ill fitting goals with compromised dreams
Grand delusions, something special of ornery
A great trick
A magnificent swindle
a half-lit passion spooled
You had me fooled at hello
you almost had me at goodbye
You worked the game
Amassed your goals on the arch of my back
And here I was,
bending over backwards to convince myself I was in love
and that it was something etherial
In the end,
fuck dust all settled
the sunlight refecting off broken shards
Struck in the face with hard enlightened reality
The one where im just another failing priority.
Where its easier and cheaper to stay,
like some sorry sympathy cunt
Where, you get to say,
all the extra effort
the days working three jobs
was worth it
because you chose to stay
so i should be grateful.
Nice.
It figures why you've never really stood up for me
you were far too interested in what others thought of you
and just happy I was the place they could lay your blame.
You scoff at my pain
You think I draw from an endless well of strength
While you only draw double standards
And somehow,
you still find a way to sleep at night.
I guess this last revelation
was the nail in the coffin I didn't want to make.
It took so long to fashion, its my greatest work of art.
The pain of passion,
the torture of the artist
Formerly known as, the love of your life
Titled: My Greatest Mistake.
"You think I draw from an endless well of strength"
Sounds like someone deserves a swift kick out the back door... wouldn't want the neighbors to see, after all. What kinda numb-knuckle would worry about anyone's opinion but yours? It's beyond me.
Fortunately, for us here, postpoetically, you continue to draw from an endless well of ink. Blessed are we, with the chance to read.
p.s. If some needs a swift kick in the teeth, you let me know ;)

"Well, it's love, but not as we know it."
That's the kinda relationship
That's the kinda relationship that's worth walking away from.

There is so much to digest here - from emotional matrix to poetic balance of phraseology. Then the storyline - that is engaging - in SS whip the moon fashion: the word "rant" needs more connotations to accomodate the scope. It is the place you go when you write so well. :D ~allets~
