Clarity

Clarity comes in brief moments when I'm around you
One second things make sense and I know how this story ends 
The next I am in your arms and feel beautiful again
I can't hate you for being who you are
just as I expect the same
I can't hate you for being kind
but love is a losing game
I can't believe I fell again
I can't believe I'm here again
Do I ask you to leave
or must I try to walk away
perhaps if I don't look into your eyes 
I won't lose myself this time
perhaps if I stop coming by
the love
the lust 
might die
But you see
clarity comes in brief moments when I'm around you
and yet my vision is always blurred
I don't see things for what they are 
instead
for what they might be
and that
​that is my tragic flaw
the thing that will always undo me
