Under the Veil

The Truth is

that "being in love"

is a Lie.

What Everybody wants

is Adoration,

or Salvation,

or Masochistic Domination,

or maybe

just to get Laid.

The rest of it

is more of the same;

Horseshit

and Game-Playing

and Pretense

to the Nth Degree.

PUSH...by THROB

i push
to test your resolve

i push
to keep from being whelmed

i push
to verify strength

i push
to insure a safety zone

i push
because it is familiar

i push
because i am terrified

i push
because trust is overrated

you push
and i disintegrate

reminded i was correct to be wary
