I tried to save thee only to fall in

[Mad_Cabbie]

The water torrid
It's powererful tow unimaginable
Believing myself immortal
My strength infallible
I lent all my untamed will
And fortitude of spirit
Alas
I was but a man
And barely at all even such.
The losing effort now defines my place on earth
As failure enshrined for all posterity.

This thread inspired by the act of caring for someone who could not care less about you.

Ah, love on the Interwebz - be it ever so heartfelt and rooted in permanence!

All I had to do was click "like" and the ancient wheels of wonder did their thing.

Sure, I had never met her - be she was as real as any great ship or deepest of waters.

For what is love, but the image burned into my reeling brain?

Seared into existence, by my own convoluted interpretation of love's unmistakable prototype;

the conjured notion of all womankind past and present

and the sum of their magnificence.

carefully modulated

a symphony of lipstick and high fashion leather pumps

thoroughly inspected and tested to insure quality -

"sanitized for your protection."

Alas, I read the box, but failed to follow the instructions to the letter.

Now, I sit in my cab and watch the snowflakes lite softly upon the frozen asphalt of Patapsco avenue.

If only I landed with such muted elegance when hitting the ground from such a great fall.

Love is nothing but a cheap trick that god pulls so that you will create more frightened minions to tithe their paychecks.

My reply to text reminding me to top up my air-time:

Dear automated "do not reply" frendly reminder guy - hope you have a boot-knockin Valentine's day!

Even robo-dialing cyber apps need love!

To one so fair as to steal my affection ~

-------------------------------------------

Promising my hand in devoted inclination

I misled and bore false witness

as one deludes a functionary

for gain or to make profit

As I slither blithely past, unfettered

sneering whilst piloting great spoils

alas, there be a mark too vigilant to drub

The one that dwells within.

In the worst of my despair, I think to speak to a friend -

Then, I remember that she is no more to speak with

by my own hand nonetheless.

Good Stuff ... Here's a song for background music.

this is unbearable - i feel like dying where I sit. were it not for the fact that i'm obliged to stay, i would leave right now.

all things must pass, yet time runs slowest in the absence of the shinning sun.

if only i were an application to be closed until needed ... or a computer that could have it's memory erased.

Ah, solitude! Alas, I remember thee well.
