I am desperate today, restless and uncertain.
I don't know why I feel this way,
But I know my heart is hurting.
I haven't looked upon the face of the man I love for weeks now.
I know that we will make it through, but I sometimes wonder how.
When my eyes are all too quick to flow with endless tears,
And my mind at night is quick to turn to old forgotten fears,
My only lifeline is an unlikely wish,
A cause that's lost already.
But the ephemeral promise of its fulfilment
Still seems to me so heady.
I know that naïve hopes so fuelled can only bring me grief
When I inevitably learn that there will be no such relief.
But I can't stop myself from hoping, with feverish desire,
That all my wishes might come true, and end this trial by fire.

One Way Street?
Ok, so I tried: It didn't work. I cried, And boy did it hurt. Gave my heart, You didn't see. Or maybe you did. But it couldn't be. I do wonder, Could it last. Our little story, Hardly too fast.

Unloveable
Love. Is not. Attainable. And lust. Is so. Available. And I am just. So breakable. With feelings. That shatter. So shakeable. My trust. Is not. Attainable. Love is not. Available. I'm not alright.
