Desired Truths

We  masquerade in trickery to help heal the wounds of our past. Not letting the joys of today and possibilities of tomorrow do their jobs. It's a constant search for the quick fix, or the prolonged inevitable. Seek truth in an unsanctioned location, filled with false claims of happiness. Those who entrust you with remnants of past experience are to be kept at bay. They trust the lions that linger in the den of death. Their meals are the carved up hearts torn from the sleeves of the naive. It's moments like those that make our thoughts enemies with our emotions. It's what fuels the war between our minds and hearts! While you heart is willing to throw itself into the fire like the moth, it's our thoughts that dig in to the library of experience and tries to save our hearts. Even at war one is concerned for the others well being. 

Perhaps the bitterness does offer a sense of security. A wall that we build to shield our robust hearts.
