An Unprecedented Affair

If there ever was a fine line,

I would be walking it. Thinning it

For the better to marvel at the wind

That splattered my caution across my bedhead.

When self-hatred explodes and shrapnel

Creates unintended martyrs,

Find comfort in old habits.

Only now there lies more than one

Cause to sedate rains in my eyes;

My fear and loathing in lost greatness.

Roll up notes to asphyxiate the poison

That resides in tempting tempestuous wonder.

In desired euphoria, memories break through;

Long nights, dark talks,

Happy silences and short walks.

Yet none were sponsored by counterfeiting

A life of lifeless pleasures.

How can one gouge out precedence

From neurologic tunnels?

It's not sadness that haunts me

But apologies that shouldn't be heard.

Naught but fondness remains, and though

I am sourcing naturality elsewhere,

And am not wishing a revival,

'Sorry' rings in my ears

Like church bells to a sinner.

Perfection lies in flaws

As peace proceeds wars.

We had fought for each other,

Against each other

Aside each other.

Yet now we are done with each other

In relative spite of each other,

Because of me.

However it is, was,
And forever will be

An unprecedented affair.
