arks

right beside the forgotten night
lies the beaten, rightful path
without that light, moving forward seems insane
your perky tenacity must burst through the veil

technology utilized but method altered
because without a leg to stand on
you're just a chest

a beating heart thriving to function
but if love does not exist for you
how can you love someone else?

it's not a secret; true love comes from
a place of recognition,
a place you've seen before,
in you For You,
or else how will you see it?

it will feel faint, detached, unrivaled
every brief second date
feels like forever because you're
wondering
if this is the one
and instead of experiencing
you judge, point fingers at flaws

crawl back into your hole
and brood until another one
falls into your lap.
