what is it that attracts me to
the attractions in you
  what kind of explanation could there
  possibly be for figuring out the us
could we blame it all on chemistry
or on artistic vision or
a dreamer's soul or
wanting to control something
   is it destiny or
   wishful thinking or just

loneliness

      that finally gets to us in the end.


what keeps the attraction
from fading away
    or has it already, just
    blindly ignored
by a couple of kids who
crave to be wanted
      and found some sort of solace
      in this parallel person
  but could it be really real
  a slap in the face to the hundreds before

lonely

     on its pedastal among the failed.


and where will we go if it
should disappear
        two people would be left behind
        would we know when to leave
  or would we wait with our eyes closed
  to feel like we were falling
and escape the reality
of the waste
          would we pack up and go home or even
          bat an eye as we returned to the state of

loneliness

  that we tried so hard to escape
  magnified now by our failures?
