A Net Works Failure

Has anyone, in all their words,
prayed to save the morning star?
If the highest and lowest must meet in the end
Why do we cleave them in two?
If you love me, I cannot feel it
in the words you share with me
Fickle thoughts and gossamer vows
Too easily dispensed
What is done is done and can't be void
So love me if you would
But words without breath is just so much noise
No embracing a ghost of a friend
So why do I write them, so fervent and red?
Why must I bring them to page?
Redeeming the failure of gods highest child?
Or tangled dissociative slave?
Oh camel, oh lion, oh babbling child
What was done, what was lost, what remains?
Ah yes,
but the sharpest sword
is still a sword
and all it can do is cut
