I like denial
the act of pretending it’s
not there
not heard
not seen
not felt
hasn’t happened
doesn’t exist
denial happens after betrayal
the act of reducing trust into nothingness
of blasting it into smithereens
of trouncing it into the ground
of smashing every last bit into dust
trust stems from expectations
that common framework upon which we rely
to trod our path
to connect
to prevent us going over the edge
to stitch a safety net
expectations do turn worthless
get thrown into chaos
dissolve into free fall
leaving disbelief
resorting to peace at any cost
serving up denial
which works with every situation
except death
