Accept the Sickness
there is a cold tonight
that settles in an aching breaking heart
an unwanted knowledge
that peace will never last
and love can not stay true
weary, wounded by neglect and poor choices
will slide the regretted acceptance
back to where it was at first touch
so returns the greatest enemy
of confidence and faith
returns the knowledge
that there should be no more last chances
and alone is a permanent state of being
so cliche that it nauseates
be alone or be dead
Impossible Questions
where is the end of this diminuendo?
when the heart stops racing
for the moment that won't arrive
the sickness of the soul
is accepted or expunged
where is the end of the attempts
the wasting away over the impossible
the acceptance of defeat
by too stubborn a will
who wins in the end
when the cynical were right?
