Even when we understand each other wishes,
We don’t respect them,
We curse them out as worn-out clichés.
Even when my bright red gaze meets your stare,
We pursue the war,
We cut open the flesh of our love like a pear.
Even when all we got is disgust, deceit or fury,
We clash over each thing,
We call in our worst fear to serve as the jury.
