Good god.
Will I feel this forever?
Searching every face
on every corner
For a trace of someone
Who I cannot discover
Because she walks with another
And calls him her lover.
What if?
What if I chomped down on the bullet
And told her I loved her
And then she wished on a star
For a hole in the ground
To swallow her up
And a landslide to cover
What we have right now
as friends with each other?
She is..
My unobtainable Muse
She fuels the fire
I'm afraid I might lose
I burn bright in the night
From her flames
That I choose
To stand so very close to
Because I cannot refuse
The spit and the crackle
And the pain that informs me
That I'm still alive
Self abuse
I adore thee.

I am breaking my "comment whilst at work" rule.
Shit dude, that is intense!
You don't even know...
wow... that is beautiful! and i'm breaking my 'while at work rule' too ;-)
I can honestly say I think that is your best poem ever.
Thanks peeps! Break those rules!!
Ha!
:-D
Wow - very intense.
I actually read it the other day, and after having it run through my head since then, I realised I just have to comment on it.
The reason this poem has been haunting me like this is because if I had to swop the gender around as if written by myself, it would be a perfect expression of how I feel about a certain someone who featured just before my current 3-year relationship.
Every tall dark haired guy who dresses like him suddenly becomes him until I catch a glimpse of his face.
Again...WOW! Its brilliant.
And for crying out loud...TELL HER!
Oh toast...like xray says, this is really intense.
Forget beautiful, forget brilliant...this is just so conflicted, heavy, so...poignant and real. I can almost taste how you feel.
It's crazy how pain fuels creativity though.
They say contentment is the enemy of creativity.
Which would you rather have?
Contentment.
But I only seem to be content when I am creating something.
..and the creativity comes from pain, so I am caught in this faintly amusing, though ultimately unresolved cycle....
Ahh exactly...That damned cycle.
Being completely content, in most cases, is boring anyway. Drama? Spice of life?
Oh wait. That was Variety.
:-/
sigh
nice
