Unrequited

A dam covers my self
holding back a river of might
currents drag and pull, to no end
sweating, look into my eyes and look, not see
the true me, a good soul with bad memories
behold me, as I behold you
the envy of your reflection beckons me

You believe in many things
Archaic, maybe
but believe in me
for myself is the truth
not yours
but someone
look to see
divide
manipulate
the five cataracts of me
