The Scorn, pt.VII

The Scorn, pt.VII

A Poem by mhylands

One question endures, never answered
The hardest part, the unknowing
Simple as I am, I cannot fathom
All the intricacies and obstacles
At times, I feel at home
Moments later, a dark cold
Intertwined, yet ever distant fate
I hold on with a degree of uncertainty
Only a fool could not see the tragedy impending
To cling on with such desperation
The day will eventually come
When all is said and done
The fabric unwoven by a single thread
Leaving me undone
Still, the poignant question
Unwanting to be solved lingers
Unstable, chaotic
Fraught with such despair
As to choose requires strength
That I pathetically lack
Making an answer cruel
Belittling what is at stake
I crave my simplicity
But, this complexity keeps me alive
As absolutes can only destroy
Yet, I cannot determine a compromise
To mend all that is broken
And should I choose absolutely
Either I, or this world may shatter
Some questions are best left unanswered
But, with each day left undetermined
Delirium takes root...
