what if i tried

as we sit in front of each other, eyes stare at each other, blink once, blink twice, suddenly it turns into a vice, cupid blindfolds us, they say love is blind, it has no eyes, but when we are in love we are blind, we now have no eyes, using our body's desires are our only direction, how come we can't see past the infection, society's ills, magnificently blinding, spell binding, it is an endless cycle of sex and suffering, drinking the water but never quenching, eating but never satisfying, it is never going to end, the endless cycle of suffering unless we chose to break out of it, the media has our kids brainwashed, thinking that quick fixes are the only answers to our bottomless pit problems, i want to break out of it but somehow, im still stuck in the pit, i can't get out, the allures of pleasures of the skin, the deceiving tenderness of ones caress, im stuck in a deep pit where loose women with tattoos and grab a hold of me and drag me down, i try to climb up, using my nails, scraping the rough walls where other men have fallen, the broken nails and blood symbolize past efforts, but somehow i have to get out of this fort, this place, where lust was born, short sighted vices, no clue where we are headed, so i let go off my grip and slip, deep down in sin's pit, the women rip me, tear off my clothes, from the top what a sight to be hold, bruised and battered, damn,,, maybe i should have tried harder, does it really matter???
