The unknown void


The unknown void

This man understands what he wants and wants what he understands
His hands, steady; His feet, firm; His mind, perplexed beyond the dilemma
One eye infatuated with the poison
One eye aware of the illuminated gun

His hands fail to form the shape of how his heart has been broken 
Not equal mirroring pieces, but different shapes, volumes, and parts
The void between the two choices is filled with his dichotomized thoughts
He hopes to move past his fractured situation

That by sloughing off the old anatomy, he might graze greener grass
So, with his feet planted in patience, he pauses 
Acknowledges this spectrum of unknown animosity,
And to his lack of understanding he tells stories of what he knows firmly
Stories of neither poison, nor bullets, but of a beautiful, wait-worthwhile heart
That when joined with his, will shed vision to this unknown
