I seem to prefer

[tejasbhatt]

Relationships
are complex
tangled webs
that we weave
without the benefit of sight

I've been stumbling blind
for years now
always tripping
and stubbing my toe

Banging into walls
in broad daylight
blind as a bat
naive as a child

I've always been optimistic
a romantic even
they call me an idealist
a true believer

The one thing
I don't believe in
is love
and relationships

The company of man
is a drug
an intoxicant
that I'm horribly addicted to
that I despise

An idealist
expects the best
I expect
nothing

I should be called the realist
One who believes
that all is destined to fail
and fail it does

Which is why I have achieved
this happy medium of sorts
between me
and you

People don't like me
so I don't like
people
and round and round
we go
in this merry dance
of lies
