PASSION & HABIT:
Passion & Habit:
Fate stared me in the face today,
“Here, how do ya like that?” She said,
As she thrust everything my life was lacking
Down my throat, and it tasted
Like Heaven.
And I could eat it,
But the price was everything I already had;
So I spit it out and said, “maybe later.”
******
And later it was I who walked towards the cliff
And I who willingly jumped,
It wasn’t that I was tempted –-
The so-often chastised desires that normally rest in my soul
Were lost –- misplaced perhaps.
I was empty, I am empty,
And I did not even have the desire to be filled,
But I went for it anyway -- out of habit.
No gain, no loss, no regret,
No love.

By she who lives in harmony, that she might satisfy this crucial balance: yet to find within herself the strength she needs to see the stars which she would seek, upon the gleaming dark of a vast unknown horizon.
Everything you need and want is before you, but it costs all that you have achieved? Has the 'price' of what you lack then been determined, and what he is willing/prepared to spend on it?
The loss was more than what was gained. Literally a loss of life, and from then on to never have the ability experiance anything again. Habitual tendancies to take a path before us that brings us no happiness but further punishment for choices we already suffer from? The price then was your life?
