When you love someone you hate them.
Hate is a strong word.
Love is a strong word.
Or could it just be infatuation?
Infatuation and security?
Are we all insecure?
Can we be alone?
Are we capable?
Are we strong?
Are we able?
Can we thrive alone?
Often times one may think they cannot.
But simply they can.
They just need to try.
The most simple of worry or simple of trying;
Is the most nourished or cherished.
One may love or hate.
May be filled with rage and the other with the fuel.
But one must simply live.

Tragedy of Black Willows
On a dark and gloomy night, a disfigured rogue began lacerating and gouging it's chest so deeply that the sternum had flung out and smashed through this window that had been besprinkled with spiderwebs and flies. It landed at the foot of the bed. There, a girl, lying asleep, woke up when the sound lingered within her eardrums and she gave a banshee shriek. She arose from her withered bed and by her feet was this grotesque piece of maggot infested bone. A frightened look grew upon her face. She crept over to her window and her eyes were drawn toward a distant figure. Everything around the figure was lightened with a shock of thunder. The figure remained darkened.

181 Keeping Watch
Each day she watched through her window. Watched? Perhaps an exaggeration: a monochromatic nuclear aftermath remaining of the world, blurring into a blindness--loss of contrast and depth of field. Achromatic aberrations displayed a waste-scape stratified in grays.
