To Divide By Zero

I'm standing on a very pivotal point in my life,
The realization of a misguided childhood dream
and the constant reminder of a decision made too soon,
just compound in the face of adversity,
in the face of temptation,
in the face of serenity.

I'm not proud that these are my thoughts,
nor am I satisfied with my attempts to fix them,
I made a handful of careless mistakes and disregarded them,
hoping they would right themselves.
When you turn a blind eye to a wound
it almost never heals; and usually gets worse.
This is no exception.

And then there is you.
Strolling in so prim and proper; perfect.
At least that's how I see it now. I can hope
for a flaw to show, to make this go away.
A temporary fix...because in the end,
I expect the unhappiness would remain.

The moral dilemmas and potential awkward social situations
weigh on the mind like the globe to Atlas,
yet I concern myself with the thoughts of pleasure first.
Then I walk my way through the possibilities,
and know that there are numerous variables
held in this single equation.

You're a mathematical impossibility
that unfortunately equals bliss,
and I'm the hapless mathematician
just pining for a kiss.

For in the touching of our lips
the truth would never hide,
a solution would reveal itself
and zero would divide.
