The screaming a broken alarm. br A genuinely even trade. br extremity underscores br the hopes competing br With stagnating gain. br The bandage a covered alarm. br Striving gauntly br And pulling too far. br No compliance to some simple joy br where pangs of hope compel your loss. br The guilt encodes a new assault. br What you can't have must not embrace br your ambitions, br Or your commitments will only be as valid br as the fiction sustaining br the unremitting truth of your eye.
