RIVAL

Thoughtlessness has weighed down these wings,
despite the velocity of these near dreams.
Its attitude latitudes on meaningless things,
of worldly opinions, and devious schemes.

But should I attempt this ascension mention?
Or pay better attention to tense contentions?
Shall I instead extend this condescension?
Or perhaps take solace in reality suspension?

It would be a lesser stressor to say we have parted,
to grow apart, and move on, without further insult;
Though better it is for the words we have thwarted,
becoming strangers; dishonesty is a worser result.

I cannot rival the words that contrive
but I will strive on and pray we survive.
