rich with uncertainty

the hopeful endeavor explicitly forlorn
amalgamating two lives with the known prerequisite of rupture.
and rapture. therein lies the consequence
always a liar, but never do I surrender

unconscionable pain stands as my shadow
ripe and seething with bright eyes pushed to pounce
empty inside, accepting the advance of supple skin
only to be left longing for the truth in touch

An indelible stain left where we rest
but a man you are not.
