To Make The Impossible Possible Is What My heart Strives For (Someone Beat Me To The Catch)

To Make The Impossible Possible Is What My heart Strives For (Someone Beat Me To The Catch)

A Poem by Mandy Moore

The desert air breathes dusty

And suffocates me in

I drown in the swirling temptress

Of the Arizona desert

It's a dry heat

A dry ocean

Just like the coast

But not at all



I'm leaving

I never loved you as I said I did

I just didn't want to incur your revenge

I've seen the toughest of kids go down in a blaze

Not of glory, but in a haze



Arizona is no longer my home

Take me to the windy city

Or maybe where it rains

All day, all night

Where there are no constraints

 The ocean is effervescent

And stills my fluttering heart



The mountains are callin' my name

Begging me not to be plain

The acoustics of turnpikes on the east

Are more inviting than a symphony



I'd rather be in Death Valley

Awaiting the inevitable

Than here in this dust bowl



I'm being hasty

I know I will never leave

I dream of what cannot be

The impossibilities

Become my reality

I love thee

Arizona

I'm just not in love with you



I bid you adieu

For I must depart

But know

I carry you always in my heart
