Parity

Polarity's sin paid for parity's cost
The kingdom of god has forgotten its cross
The language of falling is decidedly fast
When you wallow in love you believe it will last
When you give up the grift and let someone in
You balance their love with the weight of their sin
To consider a victor you contemplate the cost
There cannot be a victory where there was no chance of loss
Parity gained through polarity's death
Is a heart cured of beating by caving the chest
It's safety from drowning through denial of breath
It's suffering in solitude wanting to be known
Bleeding without feeling when you find yourself alone

The concept of polarity vs parity is really interesting. As applied here to the give and take of love, the push and pull of human interaction, is just magical. As usual your language is amazing.
