In order to have that degree of control over the future, man must first learn to distinguish between what happens by accident and what by design . . . and before he can do this, man himself will really have to become reliable, regular, necessary, even in his own self-image, so that he, as someone making a promise is, is answerable for his own future!
Nietzsche
The lies we tell,
stories we sell
to keep this love alive.
Truth betrays
what we say
in order to survive.
What emotions shed
are easily misread
when blind eyes open.
How we pretend
time spent
keeps souls unbroken.
If I really love you,
as I say I do,
goodbye should be said.
But, no - I'll cajole,
make you a fool,
anchor you here instead.
