My Desire

 

Sometimes I just want to scream –

“SHUT UP” –

Until I go hoarse,
But I know you will never listen,
So instead I howl

Pretend statements

Into your ears,

Dreaming that I

Had actual things

To yell at you instead.

 

Sometimes I just want to fight –

Stand up –

Until I have no more strength,

But I know you will never feel it,

So instead I throw
Imaginary darts
Into your face,
Wishing that I
Had tangible things
To hit you with instead.

 

Sometimes I just want to stop –

Give up –

Because I have nothing to keep me going,

But I cannot let you win,

So instead I succumb to

Cumbrous anger

And hope that one day,

I will be able to

Have something else

To live for instead.
