Eternity isn't Just for Men and Women

by Christopher Shin

What is it with dreamers
who think that they can find
the heart of the world in
one being?

What is it with them who
think that the world is
but an oyster and the pearls
are just an added on bonus?

I really don't understand
why these dreamers who find
can dash the hearts of others,
but feel like they are the martyr.
Sometimes I ponder if it was
even worth the effort to struggle.

Most of the time I wonder if
red wine is more like an empty
sorrow that veins out into
my useless body.

So you're a marytr cause you never
got your loved returned equally.
So welcome to my world of happy endings.
You realize now that the world is
not ever so peachy keen.

You realize now that it's all about
taking the blame for each of these
people's follies as they are so
quick to judge others before
they place them blame on themselves.

Welcome to my world of endless night,
and the only person you can trust is yourself.
Welcome to being committed to a lonely
existance called life.
