Truth is Rarely Pure and Never Simple

 

There may come a time when you may not see me
encased in an opaque glass shrine.

The Earth may combust and fragmentize, yet you
entranced by my imprisonment will
stand unharmed

This is what I am to you.

You watch with such intense intent.

As if I am just an object that is out of your price (sight) range

As if my glass will shatter

revealing myself

To you. (for free)

My presence here, you say is your life

Sir, do not let Doomsday be the smallest occurrence to

distract your view.

(use a mirror, you can do two things at once,
but I don't recommend it)
For my feelings are nonexistent,
and even your ego could not break this glass.

Your hope, your life, is right behind you.

No! Not lost.

Open up your mind! For she does not need another

X
barrier to cross.
I am but an idea, an ideal

And she is eternal, and real.

atoms and molecules.
and she has been eyeing
you...

 

Author's Notes: The title comes from the Oscar Wilde quote "The truth is rarely pure and never simple." What a wonderful quote!!
