~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

do not abandon
rekindling destiny’s recommendations

or chance putting a glitch
in its method of changeability

or elaborate too long on weary declarations
or revamping a wounded heart

don’t allow awkward smiles
to shred the fabric of waking dreams

or allow empty words
to sneak through the dark

battle not to forsake
the elements which cannot be seen

for they are staring,
staring right at you
