Beneath the surface and beyond the wall I constructed,
Through the matrix of numbers and underneath false perceptions.
Misunderstood representation, misleading calculated frustrations,
Love portrayed as a fixture, an amazing creation’s mixture.
Faultless attractions intertwined with flawless interactions,
Heart-beating contractions from personal experiences’ fractions.
Odd-numbered figures, outnumbered guidelines,
Almost impossible to simplify, symbols identified but expressions unverified.
Love, a world with too many rules to abide by,
Coded messages and assuming opossums, abundant punch lines in a temporary low high.
From love emerges abandoned self-pride,
An easier chance to be blindsided.
My false actuation is that love is not the base,
Tempered with a formula, love is the square root of misjudgment.
The reason for any sign of weakness,
Love becomes my pretense, my pretense in silence.
Unravel this, I dare you!
