Redacted Poem
May 15, 2015
So lose
yet still so out of reach.
Barely grasping hope
at the edge of your fingertips. but its slipping.
We ache
from beautiful, twisted pleasure,
and pain.
Can't stop thinking of the possibilitues
Blind to the distance
Screaming desire consumes you.
Emotions are weak to the temptation
from the toxic, insatiable irresistibility.
Foolish
Hopeful
Vulnerable
Subborn
Damages
from a drunken kiss.
Can't let go of the intimate memories,
Can't control change,
Can't accept slipping happiness.
Settle for sacrifice.
