The Watcher
It's like the new-age Cassandra complex. The curse of foresight but the inability to do anything about it. I can see impending dooms and the destruction they bring. But my voice is weak and unheard--a halted breath in a gale or a whisper in a maelstrom. Or are those around me deaf?
My experience tells me there's nothing wrong with my voice...
My experience tells me that sweet romantic fantasies fortify ignorant blockades of oblivion.
My experience tells me that improbable fairytale love notions tightly seals blinders over eyes. Removing reason from sight.
My experience tells me that desires for gentle caresses of skin and warm body breaths momentarily sweeps away the harsh, biting pains of goodbye and rejection.
All this to not be alone. All this to feel companionship in that split second. All this in an invariably cruel plane of existance where contentment is so foreign that a moment of it is worth ten million moments of discontent. Why...WHY DO WE DO THIS? Or why does it do us? After all, are we not the victims of this feeling? Living life in servitude. Life's singular ambition to clutch blindly and nakedly at companionship. Blindly and nakedly at love.
