    Beauty: Existentialism & Ethics (poem)

    Is lust a kind of love?
    Either way, love o’erflows.
    I don’t know how I feel,
    But I do know that it’s real.

    I know my heart is open,
    Though my mind is sometimes closed.
    I know my heart is beating
    With the feelings that I hold.

    I don’t know what you’re thinking,
    You don’t know who I am.

    Are your thoughts unpleasant?
    Full of darkness and so pained?
    I don’t mind, I just don’t care -
    It’s the way we are.

    Human beings can be vile,
    And I know this best.
    I want to drag you down,
    I need to get this off my chest.

    But do you even like me?
    Or just think that I’m banal?

    You’re a tragic hero,
    Without being a star.
    You’re still utterly human -
    I can’t explain it; you just are.
