ANNOINTED IN CONFUSION

Folder: 
JOURNAL #29

annointed in confusion

such sight as promise I can yet even see

the path in marriage

like an intrusion

is littered with debris

the feat of getting along

takes so much sometimes to achieve

all good goes unnoticed

yet any misdeed ganged upon

like some unavoidable catastrophe

so hollow now feels I

his love pocketed away out of my

immediate reach

my bewildered heart allowed no reprieve

I stoop deserted

last week his bride

yesterday his wife

today all of his current nagging grief

oh if only less feelings for he had I

then his life with me would likely be

all the more sweet

how does one scale back their love

to suit another's needs

and can such gutted vision successfully

be achieved

so sorrowfully now I sincerely do doubt

that on such matter I can not fully think

as my mind like my heart

does not work in quite that way

the golden rule reigns in my thoughts

idealisticly supreme
