Perspective
he says
because he can't see me
It's all falling
out
of
Perspective.

Perspective
he says
because you don't know what you want
until you can see the choices
We were losing
Perspective
and you can't choose something
you can't see.

Perspective
he says
because he knows I need it
we both do
Let's limit our limits
and put things in
Perspective
Or what will become of us?

Perspective
he says
promising nothing, asking everything
risking as little as possible
gaining…
a compromise
Finding some
Perspective
takes its toll
and we are repressed.

Perspective
he says
tasting all the reality that word offers
as it casts shadows
over the dreams we shared
sours the air
trims the fraying edges that
could have been the answer to
monotony.

Let's put things in
Perspective
he says
Or what will become of us?
