On Love, or Whatever This May Be
May 12, 2010
I feel like
tonight I'll be
something more
than I have been
I don't know
if my feelings
will prove to be
correct or if
I'm just flattering
myself like usual
every since you left
it's all that's keep me going
It's irony you know
how this won't ameliorate
much of my condition
yet I'll still do it
in hopes that all
the lies I tell myself
will prove to be true
in your eyes and you'll come back
but
I know I'll only
be disappointed
when I awake

The hopes that if we fill ourselves with something, a great job, a new car, new clothes, or whatever it may be, the person we admire will begin to admire us. We began to lie to ourselves about things to make us exude some idea of confidence. We'll say "I look really good today." even if we don't, we just lie and lie in hopes that our admirer will turn these "lies" into some sort of truth. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. For me, it did not.
