As lovely as a hug

Two faced people

Which face should I talk to?

They will decide that for you.

Just watch and wait.


How do I know if a personage is two faced?

They will have blue blood until

when you're not looking, they bleed red.


How can I trust someone

so two-faced

filled with hate...


Some are unaware that in this world there exists infinite pain in

infinite humanoid forms

running forward screaming for someone to help them. 


Some are abusers

Some are just reliving the past

Some are concentrated energy devoted to preventing future pains


Yet there is still a female body, distinct and familiar, lunging towards me in the distance

soon obscured by the infinite pained humanoid bodies throwing themselves

squarely between my psyche and the world


Until I realize that

The others scared me into thinking she needed to be beaten down

She needed to be restrained

She needed to be cured


I just hug her and see her disintegrate

I hug her the way a mom would hug her child

I hug her the way I wish I would have been held

So long ago
