The so-called 'dating game'

By LadronesdeNoche

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It's all just a game There is no feeling, no pain An image created from ignorance A wish for the nonexistant A dream for something new We long for that one presence But there is nothing there We imagine the feeling Create the sensation Then we forget its orgin And believe in the game, the lie It's all just a lie Created to reinact the feeling, the pain The image becomes distorted The wish, an addiction The dream, a meaningless reality We create something more Without realizing what has occured We cease to see the true nature Believing in all the false ideas Then we remember its orgin Yet continue to believe in the game, the lie Written February 4th, 2002 © on Mar 22 2002 03:16 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
