A Collaboration Of Need and Desire
I tried to ignore you
But it was a hopeless ploy
I saw the boy inside the man
And the man inside the boy.
I too tried to ignore you
To dismiss the obvious
But I couldn’t stop imagining
Your touch, your tender kiss.
I saw the way you looked at things
Like only a poet could
I saw the way you felt about things
Like only a real man would.
The uncanniness of expression
Alone possessed by those of like minds
Like hearts, like needs and yes, like souls
Those universal ties that bind.
But roles were played, stands were taken
With so much postering
Only to surrender to the lonely void
Succumbing to the pain within.
Oh so much is said in silence
Much more than when we speak
Yet my ability to sense who you are
Is at it’s euphoric peak.
And your passion calls to me at night
Your soul cries out to me
And even if it were possible
From you I can never be free.
And yours to me, your passion calls
In codes and other subtle ways
Separated now, we have long been
But the desire, it never fades.
And though I try with all my might
As I've done in love before
To run from love with it's pain and glory,
It's your love I can't ignore.
I tried. I tried. I really tried
To forget I'd seen your face
But you left a mark upon my heart
That can never be erased.
So much has been shared between us
Memories that can't be put to death
Like a lion my love chases your love down
And I'll love you still with my last breath.
