cynic

the lie is that love exists
in rose-colored auras and
heady perfumes

love does not exist
it is created
it was born into non-being

born from eyes singing a song
of inacceptance
and perhaps, if you allow, regret

it was with your leaving
that you proclaimed love unable,
an elusive myth in a world of hard truths

Hey, Car. I've been gone for a few months, and now I catch up on your writings, only to sense that you are going through something major. I dearly hope you are in better spirits now (a month has passed since your last post). I worry about you, iha, please be well. *hug*

thank you for dropping by. i don't mind at all that you added my blog to your links. :) do visit again.

soulless,
i'm not quite used to your new name yet. i hope you don't mind me calling you soulless.

thank you for your concern. i'm fine. the posts are inspired by books i've been reading and movies i've been watching. not really indicative of my current state of affairs. :) how are you? i've missed you. i hope to drop by your blog soon. take care. ^__^
