Reduced to the Truth
It always seems we can’t escape.
Forever trapped in the chaotic irony
that is our indulgent circle.
The truth is circumstantial
and good intentions plague the cure.
Its romantic subterfuge,
nothing more than a kick at the cat
to try and clear our conscious.
I wish I could believe in simplicity,
the simplicity of coffee,
of an innocent friendship restored.
But we are not innocent.
We are not friends.
We are not simple.
