Read till the end.
The experience without the medium,
Reaction without reactants
I:
Define the symptom without the cause
A new direction, a purge, a directive
Lies passed as truth,
Played on repeat
Again, again, until
They sounded unrecognizable
Compassion to the point of fear,
To the point of wondering if this is
How it feels to be held, seen, understood
Completely, wondering if this is love
Lies passed as truth, Painted in fact's aspects,
painted such so
no one could know
The want without the wanted Desire, longing, only spoken
If nothing else:
Longing sunk into memory,
Love gnashing, thrashing, at bone:
A warning spoken in silence, A scream written in stone
The experience without the medium,
Reaction without reactants
I:
Define the symptom without the cause
A new direction, a purge, a directive
Lies passed as truth,
Played on repeat
Again, again, until
They sounded unrecognizable
Compassion to the point of fear,
To the point of wondering if this is
How it feels to be held, seen, understood
Completely, wondering if this is love
Lies passed as truth, Painted in fact's aspects,
painted such so
no one could know
The want without the wanted Desire, longing, only spoken
If nothing else:
Longing sunk into memory,
Love gnashing, thrashing, at bone:
A warning spoken in silence, A scream written in stone
