We Obfuscate Our Love

We Obfuscate Our Love

A Poem by Davidgeo
"

.none of us are pragmatic all of the time.

"

It sucks when you know somehting awful

About someone you love.


It's hard to not compromise

It's hard to not make excuses...


Ignore facts,

Cling to hope.


Dispute obvious contradictions...


Life is so much more valuable in love.

You would go so much further in love...


It's kinda bland on your own.

Like milquetoast.

Solitude,

It's enlightening....


Love is for the simulacrum.


Reality has no rooms left.

Life is brutal,

Love is a fantasy...

For the very f*****g lucky.


I deserve no such luck.

The feeling of loss is so potent in this piece.
Hopelessness ; unworthy ; pain
Love is beautiful, the depths of it can be rather messy. When that happens, the true effort, unfortunately seems to slack.

The fibers of your heart is so reflective in these words.
Painfully...beautiful.

I wasn't stating your situation was beautiful. My words meant your form of expression was.

Don't worry about it... none of this is real. Lighten up... it's nice.
