[Poetry] Round for Round

The heart blinds your eyes to what needs to be seen

We claim we fight to love

But there's no love in our fights

Screams and curses make those green in eye leap in triumph

Many times, we've stood on the brink of solidarity

Only pulled back by the slippery fingertips of hope

Love ensues until tragedy strikes again

Not-so-silent revolutions begin over the phone about who so-and-so is and why so-and-so did this-and-that

Explanations help none

Rational trains of thoughts derail before leaving the station

Unexpected *clicks* end sentences before periods and pauses do

Long-awaited days pass before sex is had and curses are a result of ejaculation and elation

Not frustration and miscommunication

Smiles on faces remain until frowns replace them

One day, we'll get it right

I just know that the silver lining on clouds is really platinum
