For two days I could not concentrate on anything else.
For two days I viewed the world through rose-tonted lenses.
For two days, the once lonely nights were warm and fuzzy.
For two days I lived a dream.
For two days I've tasted the sweetest fruit,
Felt whole for once.
I thought that I have finally found my safe haven,
My coven of rest.
But alas! It is not to be.
Swept away by reality,
Based upon misunderstandings,
What else do I have left but the emptiness that reigns from before?
Before my dream, I lived with that emptiness within.
That void that I have grown to accept,
To hide away.
But now that I jave tasted the sweet drug,
I can no longer hide that emptiness.
Once again,
Void overcomes.
I do not blame anyone.
I cannot.
She said that I am a rare, dying breed.
An individual pure and innocent.
Yet I do not feel as such.
Scars run deep within me.
How can I ever be whole when all I know is pain and regret?
All I want is a place I may rest.
A place of refuge for a broken heart.
A cause to fight for.
A treasure to protect.
I feel like a wondering swordsman.
Wandering aimlessly,
Not knowing where he is going,
Or why he weilds his sword.
A swordsman who has no reason to draw his blade,
A swordsman with nowhere to go.
But how many can really live such a wandering life?
This swordsman has been searching for a refuge.
A princess to protect.
A princess to give his life for.
And finally, when the battle is over,
A place to rest is head.
I am not sure if anyone would see this.
But I care not no more.
This is where I pour my feelings.
My only place of refuge.
A place where I can hide in a corner and lick my wounds.
Sometimes I wonder why does this always happen to me.
Why am I such a pathetic prick.
WHY ALWAYS ME.
If my story were to be a book, it would be a pathetic comedy of a guy who fails at being a man.
I feel like crying.
I feel like crying my heart out once more.
But even this I cannot.
Even this,
I have to steel my heart and get my ass to work.
And when I finally do get a chance to cry,
Let it be known that it is not caused by pain inflicted by her.
But of lamentations of how useless I am.
How pathetic I can be.
Let me wallow once more in self-despair,
Once more allow me to laugh while I cry at my own incompetence.
Like a fisherman that caught a rare fish,
I marvels at it, takes a photo with it,
Then throws it back into the sea.
But what if the fish hated the sea.
What if said fish wanted to be caught, brought home and fed to a family for lunch?
She said I deserved better.
But that broke my heart all the same,
For she is the best.
I don't understand anymore.
My head hurts as much as my heart.
To laugh while you cry,
That is the most painful thing to do.
And I cannot help but constantly revisit this reality.
For it is the only reality I know of for certain.
For I may seem joyful outside.
But deep within,
I break.
