The Principal of Non-contradiction

I wish I knew a way to show you without pushing you away

But

The truth of the matter is I cannot hold the words of praise you give

While I may

Nod and speak to the truth of what you say

I am caught forever in the place between

Your perception and my own

Relativity, makes with its right hand but unmakes with the left

You see

Me lighting beacons in the night to guide others home safely in a storm

And cutting back the overgrowth of cluttered hearts

Perhaps gardens might be planted

And I love that for you

I love you for that

But

I wish I knew a way to show you without pushing you away

That every fire sparked at night is a love letter to a universe

I parted with before I even knew to know

And how that unrequited love burned a hollow in me slow

That that flame you warm yourself beside is a pyre I light in the name of a passion I lost before I ever knew to look

And I’m just trying to find the strength to let it go

So please, understand if you can

I’m not saying that you’re wrong

Only that, neither am I

That you found beauty but what it was for you was not for me

You see

Relativity
