Information
February 2, 2010
It’s all information, really.
No blades to the heart
No useless tears
No deep welling grief
That burns the soul.
It’s only information.
Learning that you can’t
Or won’t love me,
That I’ve been wasting my
Time and heart loving you
Wasted time is good information.
You’ve given me information
To show that you’re all about fear.
You’re afraid that if I don’t
Love you that I’ll not be your
Friend, and I’ll stop taking
Care of you.
Fear is good information.
I asked for information.
How do you see me?
You described someone
You might admire from a distance
And I realized how distant your
Heart was from me.
Distance is good information.
Truth and lies are information.
If you believe either
You are getting what you want, really.
We all want to believe that love
Can be ours even if the truth
Stares us in the face, intensely
Willing us to see through the lies.
Lies are good information.
Sifting through the information
Gained throughout our time,
I’ve learned and grown, because
That is what information is;
The foundation of understanding.
And now, I understand.
Pain is good information.
