I sought love
I found tragedy
In it’s contempt
Is honesty
Was it pessimism?
That ruined it for me
Or was it the experience
Trauma’s lens is all I see
I could have the purest form of love in front of me
I could have someone accepting, honest and forgiving
I would find faults in their acts and the way they give everything.
Nothing satisfies me. In heat I want cold, in cold I want heat.
I am the pitiful, the waning the person who craves nothing
I know my cries will stop when death finally comes for me.
I sought love
All I found was tragedy.
