The same breath, denying and admitting
Our guilt in a single statement.
Freed and chained, choosing paradox
Over paradise, testing
The strength of patience, perhaps
More than should be allowed.
Giving in, holding back,
Letting go, keeping in,
Too logical for our own good.
Near but far,
Eager and afraid,
Living in contradiction, hoping and
Fearing it will work.
Waiting to love
But hating the wait,
And in one prayer
Cursing and thanking Fate.
