We proposed with lollipop sticks in our teeth. chewed down to bleeding stubs between our lips as time moves backwards and we see how we were.
The things that haunt us stay because we chain them to our hearts; wooden stakes and chains as delicate as cobwebs.
We'll spread our wings and fly but our feathers are layered tissue and wax and like Icarus we'll burn before we're free.
These triumphs are only failures in disguise and in the end we'll rip the skin from our bones and scrub the silt from our eyes in our desperation to be clean, so that only once we might breathe the truth.

Pretentiousness! I have it.
