Purpose

I need a purpose.

Everyone does.


It was you.

It was love.


But you were never you,

You were never who

You claimed to be.

You were never who I hoped you were.


I realize I never loved you.

I loved your wretched disguise,

Your wretched disguise of wicked lies,

That blinded me like dusk lights.


So now what's the purpose?

Not you. Not your disguise.


Then what?

Where is it?


I'm searching.

Perhaps I'll find.


Perhaps not.

Probably not.


Surely not.

I'm ending it here anyway.
