[hometext] => ... And it hurts so much worse when you are not enough
[bodytext] => __________________________________ And they say that I keep my eyes too open For I have acquainted myself so closely with the late hours and watched a gibbous moon wane into the dawn. I have neglected sleep to witness the dissolving sky And the falling sun. I have come to keep time in stories, anecdotes and Sundays, And euphemized independence for loneliness. I built my walls from secrecy and learned that that even my most intimate thoughts are not infallible. In searching I found little besides more questions whose answers had neglected them and in hope, I discovered heartache. I have been charmed by the illusion of constancy only to find conditionality, even where it did not belong. And I have been one familiar with waiting while I lived my life in twilights and indecision, leaning in too many directions but never ready to take the turn. I have sought sanctuary in stars, poetry and people Yet I recognized the greatest treachery when I could not find it within myself.
