Back to Reality, Oh... there goes gravity.

Reality can often be referred to as a "slap across the face." And perhaps this is true in some manner. But when reality leaves you with two red cheeks and an "s" on the end of slap, a bitter relationship is hard to avoid. The inner struggle of unquenched desire has left many hanging from a rope or hanging out in a bar, but when does the war become worth the pain. Unsure results and restless minds cannot navigate the possibilities with enough speed. There is hardly enough time in a day for the mind to trace and sort want from need with intricate detail and superior catagorizing. How is it that one's emotions can betray them in a matter of seconds when one has reasoned through a circumstance for a number of sleepless nights and several cups of coffee. Emotional response vs. the logical. Temporary feelings vs. reason. Two spheres at war within the human body, and a cease fire seems impossible. When the logical concludes, the emotional responds and affects the conclusion. When the emotional appears to win out in, reasoning strips and changes the initial emotional response. And when one chooses to accept reality, there are suddenly two ways of grasping it. A slap from the emotional, a slap from the logical. And soon to follow; anger, bitterness, frustration, misunderstanding, silence. What to say next? Maybe I always KNEW it wouldn't work, but I felt it could. Is it wrong to hold onto what I feel over what I know? Because that's what he wants. To know. But then comes the emotion. and whack. Now he's turned the other way. And here we go again.
