torrid beauty

By donnamarie

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Why do i always want what i can't have? I always find far to be better than near. I struggle to reach for it and them. I don't think the grass is necessarily greener, just a little shorter and a little softer. I always want the farthest from my reality. Is that it? Is that the answer? I escape reality through those outside. The bond is formed and thought about later. Are these bonds tearing away at my heart? Or do they only force me to love? Thses outsiders appear better than those near. It is a cruel game. They leave, fight wars, cross oceans, and leave this earth. Some close off; poisons steal others away. Or they are burned by their own hand. It is a shame that I must love them, and all of their torrid beauty. Written December 13th, 2001 © on Dec 13 2001 01:32 PM PST   10 • 0
