I am Unfathomable to You - The Condition is not Mutual
By AdrianJ
I am Unfathomable to You - But the condition is not Mutual
You think you can determine what I need? By what criteria do you come to
this conclusion?
Perhaps you are enthralled by some illusion that my evolution followed
by that standard delusion known as a "childhood"
Take me for a spell on the milestones, markers and interludes that you
can decipher from a natural-born apprenticeship of indentured servitude?
I conceal my needs - suppress desires as I have been taught at terrible
cost nothing is more necessary - than a more temporary wont.
When I choose to humble my arrogance to plead for patronage it is at a
point where no other solution is possible to obtain.
Which is quite an accomplishment for a mind endowed with my circumrotated
brain.
So when you deny me my humble request - you reveal your selfishness. Only
to yourself are you significant - because I never ask for anything. But
when I do, it's long past momentary vain affluence. I immediately withdraw
the request because begging does not beget behest.
Irregardless unendowed with the requisite intensity of perception trained
by years of infinitesimal sensitivity that knows frivality from function.
My bray intentionally crafted that its reception is obsequiously subtle
yet so clear to the discerning ear.
I cognize lament that on you I cannot become dependent and must again face
another failure in a vain attempt to escape the solitude of my existence.
A man without constituents.
You will never be capable of taking care of me - because you can't understand
true need indeed. Your innermost desires and needs are translucent to me.
Forever, you will be a burden to me. You are clever in the absence of empathy.
You do not even realize, the power over you that I can materialize but
choose not to?
I wanted at least an equal - but that was a romantic notion to seek for.
I've learned too many times to doubt my asininity.
No matter what path I tread somehow I manage to back to this wasteland
of dread.
The end has begun before the race is run, when clever you think you've
found a way - some secret you can keep at bay like so many before you.
The forbidden fruit to finally to tip the balance between heart and mind
prevailing on the brain it is time to be permanently parted and start this
insane hell of repetition yet again...
