Longing
Once more I tread this course,
One I know far too well,
I enter with hope as well as caution,
For I hope to know your beauty as well as I do your horrors
I am soaked in the overwhelming need for you,
Yet I still feel the burns from our last encounter,
So why do I still long for you?
Is it truly in search of your beauty?
Or maybe it’s something a bit more selfish—
Maybe I don’t want to be alone any longer
Maybe I’ve gone insane
But if so, then haven’t we all?
The Road
I drive and drive and drive
Down this dimly lit road everyday
My tires anxiously roll down the poorly paved asphalt
I never know what’s ahead of me until it’s arrived
And when it does, I steer through and around the perilous obstacles
Obstacles that never seem to cease or give me a break
Fear is constantly in my ear, pleading for me to pull over
But there has to be light at the end of this dim dim road
So I drive and drive and drive
Gravity
We are planets
stuck in each others gravitational pull
But we are small planets
And our gravity can only do so much
